Last night I learned a lot about a DD-214.I have a nephew that just retired out of the Army and he had something to do with 600 men's medal's and ribbon's and DD-214's.He was here till 11:45pm trying to help me,I knew I had more ribbons and medals coming to me but did not show on my DD-214.I didn't know I had 3 DD-214,I do have 16 more ribbons coming and three more medals coming to me.Lot's of Service people don't get medals and ribbons just not knowing.And Veteran Administration (in Baton Rouge) don't know there (well you know) from a hole in the ground.He didn't even ask my name or shake my hand.He said a few words and then,NEXT.Well anyhow I'm getting help from the Gonzales Veteran Administration.May be you other Vet might know this,But I didn't

Vern must have a wall full of medals and ribbons for what he's been though.
