According to Wikepedia (OK, not always correct), there is only one living American veteran of WWI alive as of today.

He is Frank Woodruff Buckles [ Buckles, Frank Woodruff] of West Virginia. As a person that is now over the 1/2 century mark, there was a time when there were many of these vets intersecting my life. My grandfather & his cousin were the 2 I knew the best. It is amazing to think that in a very short time there will be no living veterans of this tragic war in any country.
The WWI vet I was never able to meet was my grandpa's brother, Herman John Bartels. He was a member the 32nd (Red Arrow) Division and was killed during the Battle for Juvigny France on August 30, 1918. Reaserching his life has become a very interesting hobby for me.
