"It is cold and we have no blankets. The little children are freezing to death. My people, some of them, have run away to the hills, and have no blankets, no food; no one knows where they are-perhaps freezing to death. I want to have time to look for my children and see how many of them I can find. Maybe I shall find them among the dead. Hear me, my chiefs! I am tired; my heart is sick and sad. From where the sun now stands, I will fight no more forever." Chief Joseph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharon Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 Go to the nearest military installation. You will be in DEERS. They will replace it. The Reserve stations also can do ID cards. No other paperwork is needed. "Don't give up. Don't ever give up." Jimmy V Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator pacmanx1 Posted June 25, 2009 Moderator Share Posted June 25, 2009 (edited) If you lost your ID card take a copy of your DD 214, your medical retirement orders and several IDs to the nearest ARMY base and go to the DEERS (MILITARY I D CARD) section and they should be able to help you out. I just got my DAV disabled Veteran ID card and my name and information was still in the system. The clerk told me my old base address and already knew my dependents names. It has been at least 15 years since I had anything to do with DEERS but it was all their. If your ID card said indefinite why would you need to replace other than losing it? Edited June 25, 2009 by pacmanx1 My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions. Do your own homework. No one knows the veteran’s symptoms like the veteran. Never Give Up. I do not give my consent for anyone to view my personal VA records.

Try calling 1 800 538 9552 and explain to them your situation. This is the number for the DEERS eligibility center and they will ask you to identify yourself and see if you are still eligible. Please let us know what they say for future questions My intentions are to help, my advice maybe wrong, be your own advocate and know what is in your C-File and the 38 CFR that governs your disabilities and conditions.
