VETERANS PRESS: Hey veterans, did you know?

The Old Military ID Card is limited to current service members, retirees and certain veterans with 100% disabilities.   

Any honorably discharged Veteran can now obtain and official New Veteran’s ID Card (VIC). It will save you the trouble of carrying around your DD214 when asked for proof of veteran status for any reason, including some significant Veteran discounts for products and services. 

To obtain your VIC Veterans Identification Card you can simply go to the 7th floor of the Veterans Administration Medical Center Mann-Granstaff VAMC, show valid ID (Drivers License or Passport, etc.) and a copy of your DD214 (proof of service). and fill out an application. 

There is no cost and the waiting time is 30-60 days. Recent changes may have made the timing quicker.
