Like my 89-year-old grandfather who was a World war II veteran, the military paid for his funeral. His death had absolutely nothing to do with military service. He died of old age, decades after World war II.

my grandfather was a wwii veteran, and they took pretty good care of him.

his brother was also a wwii veteran and spent the rest of his life drinking away the horrors he'd seen and scream-sobbing any time there was a thunderstorm.
