Surviving Veterans of the Second World War
WWI veterans had to wait 80 years before France started recognizing "surviving" veterans as something notable even as a group, let alone one individual.
 * DeleteThere are more than 3.5 million surviving veterans of WWII in the U.S. alone. Including all nations involved, total number of 'surviving veterans' likely exceeds 10 million.

Also, if the individuals listed are notable, then isn't that redundant? Aren't they already listed in Wikipedia for what they're known for?
 * Delete, better handled by category. Gazpacho 22:38, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
 * Delete. Agree with Gazpacho. If the list is just their names, there's not much point. -- howcheng  [ talk &#149; contribs &#149; web ] 22:43, 28 October 2005 (UTC)
