Is it anyone who served during the war years? Or is it limited to those who served in a theater of war during those years?

In twenty years, maybe this question will be relevant to this "Vietnam Era" veteran, who read about the war from the comfort of an army post in Germany.

Anyway, this is good news for the few remaining WWII vets who are not already in the VA system.
