Call your local Veteran's Adm. My husband also did these things where you were etc. He was in Honduras twice but was only in the guard a total of 9 yrs. He says he isn't eligible for anything.

Contrary to what KRYSTAL said, a VET does NOT have to have served during war time OR have been in a war zone. Typical of NON-KNOWING civilians mouthing off.
