Department of State : Veterans' Home
Administrator's Letter

The U.S. veterans' population is estimated to be 23.8 million with the World War II veterans projected at 2.7 million. Thirty-nine percent of the nation's veteran population is over the age of 65 and 30,000 of them live in the state of Delaware. These Delawareans sacrificed much to secure the freedoms we all enjoy today.
