A veteran is anyone who has served in the military. As far as veteran benefits are concerned, only those who have served at least six months on active duty are eligible for benefits. An exception would be a reservist who was injured during training. If you are a former reserve or National Guard member, stand proud as a veteran who volunteered to put your life on the line for liberty.

He is a Vietnam Era Veteran.
Contact the VA on this topic; because their policies change. During the 1960s, 1970s, applications often said, (as an example) "must have served for 30 days or longer/or 60 days or longer/or 90 days or longer; on active duty." And sometimes those sentences had this on the end of them, "...on active duty NOT FOR TRAINING."

It is my best recollection that weekend warriors(National Guard and Enlisted Reserve) are not considered Viet Nam Era veterans unless they served two years of active duty during the years 1961-1974? Some sites cite 1964 as the beginning of the era and others cite different ending dates. The exception to this is if they were discharged while serving active duty for medical reasons. Active duty personnel of any branch during this era are considered Viet Nam Era veterans despite not having served in Viet Nam. This includes those stationed in Europe, the USA, and other postings as long as they were active duty. This specifically excludes weekend drills and summer camps. Some National Guard and Reserve units WERE activated and do qualify for this recognition. As someone with a serial number beginning with RA (regular army) I find it dishonest for someone who did not do the time to even think of claiming this status.
American General Dwight David Eisenhower served as Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in Europe.
