Hey Veterans, Did You Know?
Your DD214 will be needed by your family when you pass away. It is something that you should do now to help them during this stressful time. They will need it to file for burial and funeral benefits or to request military honors, rifle salute and/or flag presentation, at your funeral or memorial service. If you don’t have one, you can put a request in at www.archives.gov/veterans/military-service-records, or contact one of the Veteran Affairs offices.
