Ask to see his DD214.
There usually is no question if he belongs to a veteran service group like the Viet Nam Vets, VFW. or the American Legion. He must present that document (DD214) to their membership chair or committee to gain membership. If he doesn’t belong to those (all have specified times of conflict to become a member, VFW also requires an overseas theater campaign ribbon.
He can be a member of the AMVETS or any other veteran service groups etc whch doesn’t have those restrictions. But in any case they all require presentation of the DD214 for examination and verification.
Ask him if he belongs to any of those if he doesn’t ask him why he doesn’t .
