No more WW2 veterans in the Senate

Once Senator Frank Lautenberg retires, there will be no one in the Senate who served in WW2. Only two members of the House served, both in their 80s. Once they are gone, living memory of the war will go with them.

Here's a graph which shows the percentage of veterans in Congress as a whole has dwindled considerably over the decades. Perhaps this is a consequence of the all volunteer military.
