How does a person get a military ID card that states they served and was honorably discharged?

My dad is looking to get a military ID that states he was in the service and discharged. He served during the era of the Vietnam conflict in the Navy. I know these cards exist because I have my grandfather's card from his service during WWII.How does a person get a military ID card that states they served and was honorably discharged?There is no such thing.How does a person get a military ID card that states they served and was honorably discharged?
When he reaches 62 he will be eligible for one and all the benefits of a Retiree including post/base access, use of facilities, Space A privileges, medical, etc...



He might be eligible for it sooner if he has above the percentage for disability. He needs to talk to VA



If he is none of these then the only thing he will have is his DD214 discharge papers.How does a person get a military ID card that states they served and was honorably discharged?They don't have them anymore as far as I know. The way your father would prove his service is to have a copy of his DD214 from his discharge. If he needs a copy you can order one through the National Archives website.

Also with that VA card, he can get a 10% discount at any (Lowes home improvement centers).

He must ask at the counter,,,,,

"Do you still give the VA discount "?

He must present his VA card, along with a photo I.D.How does a person get a military ID card that states they served and was honorably discharged?Its called a DD Form 214 and it says what kind of discharge you recieved.

I don't think you can get an ID unless you are entitled to benefits.
