Replace missing DD-214's and obtain copies of military records.

A site that covers everything military, from benefits, pay scales,
state-by-state benefits, also lists corporations offering military and
veteran discounts.

Below are web-sites that provide information on Veterans benefits and how
to file/ask for them. Accordingly, there are many sites that explain how to
obtain books, military/medical records, information and how to appeal a
denied claim with the VA.

Please pass this information on to every Veteran you know. Nearly 100%
of this information is free and available for all veterans, the only catch is:
you have to ask for it, because they won't tell you about a specific benefit
unless you ask for it. You need to know what questions to ask so the right
doors open for you -- and then be ready to havean advocate who is willing
to work with and for you, stay in the process, and press for your rights and
your best interests.
