Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 RE: I finally passed muster and got notified my card was ready . . . . turns out you go to the site and download the card and print it out on your own computer I can't figure out if this is good or bad but at least it saves the government a bunch of $$ since they don't have to actually have to make a card and send it to the veteran First time I remember the government not taking the opportunity to "throw money" at an issue--guess I like it after all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlie Harley, #14153 Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 A printable card sounds like it would be exceptionally easy to forge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Sage, SASS #49891 Life Posted August 10, 2021 Share Posted August 10, 2021 As a disabled veteran, I have a VA Veterans picture ID card. The problem is almost all governmental entities (Fed, state, county, etc) won't recognize it as an ID card or to establish military status. They will only accept your DD214.

Cheyenne Ranger, 48747L Posted August 10, 2021 Author Share Posted August 10, 2021 still have my laminated TDL that has Veteran on it. Just wanted to see what this one was all about and yes, probably easy to forge the new card--I messed with the example on the first thread--link to it in first post. Made one for Rocket J. Squirrel--he looks a lot better than I do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pat Riot Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 You have to print your own? What a gyp! I guess I gotta check the site and print up my Veteran coupon… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trailrider #896 Posted August 11, 2021 Share Posted August 11, 2021 Well, I pack my VA Pfizer vaccine card with me, and a verrry old copy of my DOD shot record, which I update as well. If that don't work....an' the horse they rode in on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
