FastEagle, Where do 100% DAV's fit in or are they not allowed? I'm a Vietnam Vet with 100% service connected disability.

Hi Mad Dog, All the people I know that are 100% by the military or the Veteran’s Association carry retired ID cards. My brother-in-law was evaluated by the VA as 100% from the Korean war and with only two years service he has a USA retired ID card (CPL) with all the advantages any other retiree would have. His VA ID card says "100% service connected disabled". Why NAS JAX omitted the 100% folks is beyond me.
