It depends on how old they were at the time of the war. If we assume that all soldiers were at least 16, and that they enlisted just before the end of the war, then they would have to have been born in 1929 or before. In 2011, that would make them at least 82. The majority would have been over 18, which would put them at minimum in their mid-80s. Some soldiers, of course, would have been older.
Arnold Fairley is 94 and lives in Houston, Texas My great grandpa is 82- 83 And was Fighting in the Pacific.

How can you get the email address of a World War 2 veteran to interview?
Try the American Legion or Veteran's of Foreign War chapters in your area. There are still a few of the old vets still living. And if you can get a couple of them talking together, they will surely start swapping stories and trying to out do each other. At that point, just sit back and listen! Don't be surprised if they are reluctant to talk about the war, so the article you are writing or a book had better be interesting and correct to get them to talk. Another option is to visit a Veteran's Nursing Home.
