Question:

Having served active duty in the Marine Corps from March 5, 1975 until my honorable discharge in 1979, do I qualify as a Vietnam era vet and what benefits are available to me. I am NOT disabled nor have any service related issues.

Jim's Reply:

In accordance with the Code of Federal Regulations Chapter 38 Paragraph 3.2 (f), the Vietnam Era is "The period beginning on February 28, 1961, and ending on May 7, 1975, inclusive, in the case of a veteran who served in the Republic of Vietnam during that period. The period beginning on August 5, 1964, and ending on May 7, 1975, inclusive, in all other cases."

Your benefits are here.
