Veterans Resources
Veterans have earned benefits that can honor their service at the end of life. We can help your family understand and request them.
Eligibility and the DD-214
Most benefits require proof of service, usually the veteran's discharge papers (DD-214). If you cannot find them, copies can be requested from the National Archives.
Bring what you have, and we will help with the rest.
