B out due to subject-verb agreement error. C and D out to the use of "then" which is awkward.

E apparently nothing wrong but changes the meaning: we had already graduated before but remained in the US in the late 60s were caught in the war

A means: we graduated in the late 60s in US were caught in the war.

would go for A and stick to the original meaning

A
B - uses a modifying clause unnecessarily, and makes a verb error in "were"
C - is ungrammatical and strange in using "then"
D - makes the same error as in C
E - wordy, and slightly changes the meaning of the original sentence by saying "...who were in the..."

A is the correct answer.
