INDIANAPOLIS — It's become difficult to find a World War II veteran since the youngest surviving veterans are approaching 100-years-old.
Living History Day featured more than 70 war veterans, but only two of them served in WWII: Army radar operator Alex Rearick and Navy electronics technician Bob Begeman, who saw the end of the war on the USS George Clymer. North Central social studies teacher Chris Vermillion has continued the Living History Day tradition at the school for twenty years.
The National WWII Museum estimates only about 100,000 of America's 16 million World War II veterans — less than one percent — are still alive.
