List of last surviving World War II veterans

Martin Leo August (Leo), born 31 May 1923 is still alive and just attended the White House Veterans Luncheon on 27 May 2024. He is a survivor of the USS Twiggs, which was sunk by a kamikaze pilot over Okinawa. I believe him to be the last of the Twiggs survivors, but do not know how to find verified proof. I appreciate help on this. Thank you! :) WillowVerba (talk) 20:20, 27 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
