Dutch Van Kirk is (I think) the last surviving member of the crew of the Enola Gay. He has appeared on a number of A&E and Military History channel programs about WW-2 and the dropping of the atomic bomb.

In one of the shows he comments how today's school children are woefully ignorant of the history of WW-2. He said that he was once introduced by the principal of a school where he was speaking as having fought in "World War Eleven". He was NOT happy.
