And, agree...what the heck is a Vietnam-era Veteran?

It's a category the government has for classifying veterans. Benefits vary depending on when one served, I believe.

You could be WWII veteran even if you never saw combat or left the US, and you can be a Vietnam era veteran even if you never went to Vietnam.

Thanks for the info.

I’d imagine there are researches on this, as we type.
