I am a 40% disabled veteran, who no longer possesses a military I.D., just my service connected disabled Department of Veterans Affairs card and a DD-214. Why is it that on Veteran's Day, businesses are honoring just the select few? Active military and current reservists are not yet veterans and if you only serve one tour of duty and get out, you do not retain your military I.D. card.
