Nineteen

Ben is nineteen today.
In World War II the average age of the combat soldier was twenty-six
In Vietnam he was nineteen
Further random information;  guitarist Wendy Melvoin was nineteen when she made her live debut with Prince and the Revolution at the First Avenue nightclub in Minneapolis on August 3, 1983 and played the famous guitar intro to Purple Rain. The version that was released is actually that live performance with some overdubs and edits.

You can do a lot at nineteen.
