I thought I would use it for some places that offer veteran discounts but when they told me that I would have to travel to Birmingham with my DD214, I changed my mind.
Didn't take that when I applied years ago. Still have it stored away. Only used it for a year of college after I got back from Nam and to guarantee my first home loan.
I used the college benefits starting in '72; I guess I must have used my 214 for proof of service. I don't ever remember having a veteran's ID, maybe it's still in my duffel bag.
Small cardboard card with blue printing.
