Might need a couple of sub forums since Veterans and Retiree discussions and even disabled veterans can be very different since the priviledges are vastly different ... i.e. base and facilities access, medical and drug sources, etc. Even merchant discounts like Lowe's/HD I think need an ID (not sure if a DD214 would be accepted or a Veteran's ID). However some are the same like the Verizon wireless discount which is Veteran based. Another is the whole issue of VA medical and the Veteran's ID which I know anything about and don't really care personally. Of course then throw in the DOD civilian end like for use of FamKamps, etc. and things really get diverse and unique. Larry

Question for those who know a lot more about this than I. I am trying to get info on Army sites with no luck. I am looking for any suggestions on where to go on the net when all I have is a name and KIA in France a month or so after D Day. Thanks

http://www.fold3.com/, but your going to have to pay to get access.

And you could visit your local congressman's office. They have a staff and have access to the U.S. Archives in Washington D.C.
