There is (or was) a mandatory retirement age for US Military men, normally being about age 62 or above. A 17 or 18 year serviceman in 1945 would just about put him at that mark in 1990. It would probably be a safe bet, that any existing WWII active duty veteran would have been retired, at least by the 1990s.
