It's been on the History Channel today and I've been watching it since this morning. I've been wondering if any of the vets that were alive for the interviews, if they're still with us. I often find myself thinking I would give everything I have to have been born in time to be in WW2, preferably flying something.

Here is the wikepedia page on it. Jack Werner, Rockie Blunt, and Charles Scheffel have since passed away. Of the 12 featured, Jack Yusen, Shelby Westbrook, and Jimmie Kanaya are still with us, perhaps even Archie Sweeney, but don't know any recent news about him.
