I don’t get veterans benefits either, but you should definitely have a DD214. Not being able to prove service can become problematic for any or no reason at all, with no notice.
Its the government after all.
Thank you for your service, and Merry Christmas!
Probably a good idea.
I have seen you can register a copy at your local courthouse so it is saved. I never knew you could do that.
Merry Christmas to you and yours.
