PHOENIX — With the youngest of the World War II veterans now in their 80s, and Korean War veterans not far behind, Vietnam veterans have stepped forward as the new face and voice of those who served in American wars.

In Arizona, there are 88,831 World War II veterans and 177,338 Vietnam veterans. On average, at least 1,000 World War II veterans die each day around the country, according to the Department of Veterans Affairs.

"It was our time to step up," said Don Morris, a Vietnam veteran living in Peoria.

Every year, Morris grows a beard, puts on his leathers and jumps on his Honda Gold Wing motorcycle to lead hundreds of Arizona Vietnam veterans on a ride to Washington, D.C.

Their Memorial Day weekend destination was the Vietnam Veterans Memorial to honor those lost in that war and others.

In the past, Vietnam veterans were less public about their participation in the war. But these days, it's the Vietnam vets going to the American Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars posts.
