when I was a kid of about 10 I met a WWI (not WWII, WWI) veteran who lived in my town (he had lied about his age to enlist at 16). He remembered seeing and meeting Civil War veterans in his childhood (the last person with a Civil War pension actually died in 2020 a descendant of a veteran). As a kid I realized that some of those veterans he had met could have in their own childhoods met veterans of the Revolutionary War. My own great-grandparents whom I met were born in the 1800's
