I thought you might get a laugh from this true story....
The other day I went to Starbucks with my sister to have a Mocha'. I was visiting with the college age girl who was making our coffee. I don't remember how the subject of WWII came up, but it did, and I mentioned that I enjoy studying WWII history and also that I collect WWII items. When I shared that with her she looked at me and asked: "Were you in WWII?" I laughed and told her that I was not, and that I am in fact only 58 years old. 
I guess this speaks to the topic we often discuss about how little today's younger generation knows about WWII. That being said.... I guess I better look into some Botox and Grecian Grey! 
lol! Someone asked my boyfriend once if he was in Vietnam, he's only 42.
God bless those heroes who suffered and died, for plain folks, like you and me.
War is a crime. Ask the infantry and ask the dead.
When I was young(er), some girl asked me a photo of myself while we were talking on messenger (early days ... ah, the memories).
I sent her a portrait photo of a Waffen SS soldier.
She replied: "Are you in the Army?".
After I answered "Yeah, back in 1944!", her Euro (then Belgian Franc) still hadn't fallen. 
Didn't bother anymore with her after that.
And when I was at university, some young lady asked if I had served in the Gulf (First Gulf War was still raging at that time).
I shook my head and mumbled "Yup, I even got promoted to Captain." ... 
Still makes nice conversation topics though and my Fiancée had a good laugh with it when I told her these stories (For the record ... she's FAR smarter then those ladies!).
