I served in the TN Army National Guard from 1990 to 1998 (active 6yrs, inactive 2yrs). Am I a Veteran? I did not go to Iraq or fight in a war zone, I was within 48 hours of going than it was over.

i'm pretty sure you are still a verteran. and i dont think you have to fight to be considered a vet

[Guest db99wj]

But there is no proof other than my dd214, an old picture (20 yrs ago) of me in basic in my Class A's and some other paperwork.

I know I am, I signed a blank check, it was not needed during my tenure, but it is hard to prove without an official id or something that states that. I'm just wondering, because there are a lot of discounts offered out to Active and former military, what other folks do for these discounts.

Oh, I do get a discount at Sport Clips!

Don't feel bad.. all I have is my DD214 and my Genieva Convention Card.

If you have a DD214, you are a veteran.

[Guest ArmyVeteran37214]

Looks like I'll be eating lunch and dinner at Applebee's on vets day.

[Guest FroggyOne2]

If I remember.. Golden Corral does the same thing on Vets day.

[Guest db99wj]

I know, saw the dd214 in there. However, it is something I normally don't carry in my wallet...my post was more of a bitch/complaint about that they don't issue an id card to us!

[Tim Nunan]

If I remember.. Golden Corral does the same thing on Vets day.

While some Applebee's may be posted (instructions from HQ) some franchises apparently have not done so.

Golden Corral is doing this 5 PM to 9 PM, 16 November this year. They've require proof of status... honor system. Military :: Golden Corral
