Combat Veteran Care Extended
Combat veterans who were discharged between Nov. 11, 1998 and Jan. 16, 2003, and never took
advantage of VA's health care system, have until Jan. 27, 2011 to apply for five years of free VA health
care for most conditions. The five-year window is also open to activated reservists and members of the
National Guard and applies to care in a VA hospital, outpatient clinic or nursing home. It also extends
VA dental benefits to 180 days. The five-year deadline has no effect on veterans with medical conditions
related to their military service since they may apply at any time after their discharge from the military --
even decades later -- for medical care for service-connected health problems.

Yes
it is possible to obtain a flag for a deceased Veteran even if documentary proof of the Veteran's service is unavailable.

            Many families that have experienced difficulty in obtaining a flag for a deceased Veteran.
"Some don't ever apply for the flag because they don't feel that they will be successful in obtaining it."

          The instructions on the VA application (Form 21-2008) explain that if the applicant is unable to furnish documentary
proof (such as a DD214), a "statement… made by a person of established character and reputation that he/she personally
knows the deceased to have been a Veteran…" will be an acceptable substitute.

          Deceased veterans qualified to receive flags are Veterans of Wars, the Mexican border service, or service after
January 31, 1955, discharged or released from active duty under honorable conditions, or discharged from or released
from active duty in the United States Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps or Coast Guard under honorable conditions after
serving at least one complete peacetime enlistment before June 27, 1950 or for disability incurred in the line of duty.
Flags are also available for service men and women that were in active service at the time of death if a flag was not
obtainable from a military or naval establishment in time for the burial.

          "When widows and survivors of deceased Veterans need assistance obtaining flags, I hope they will be aware
of this option".  "This is something that can really help if official documents are not available."
