An MPI analysis finds there were about 645,000 foreign-born veterans of the U.S. armed forces in 2007, representing nearly three percent of all surviving US veterans.
This fact sheet, using data from the U.S. Census Bureau's 2007 American Community Survey, provides a demographic portrait of the foreign-born veterans' countries of origin, states of residence and periods of service.
