Trump claims, preposterously, that parents of Korean War veterans came up to him during the 2016 campaign and said, โwhen you can, weโd love our son to be brought back home โ you know, the remains.โ

Iโll do the math for you.
You kind of have to assume that Korean War soldierโs parents were at least about 35 in 1953.
That makes the parent approximately 100 years old right now.
