If you were honorably discharged in February 1961 from the Army after serving from 1958 would you be considered a Vietnam vet?
Unless you actually served in Viet Nam you are not a Viet Nam Veteran. You are considered a Veteran. I served from 1964-1967 and never was sent to Viet Nam, but was sent to Germany. I am a Veteran but not a Viet Nam Veteran.Additional infoVietnam vets are vets that served from 1964 to 1975 and received the Vietnam Service Metal (VSM ). The military had regulations covering who received the VSM. So since you did not serve during those dates, you would not be eligible for the VSM and therefore not considered a Vietnam Veteran. (If you had served anytime from 1964 to 1975 and had not received the VSM, you would be referred to as a Vietnam Era Veteran.
How do you find information on a dead family member who served during Vietnam if you only know the first name and have a picture of him?

Are you considered a Vietnam veteran if you served in the active military from June 1974 until December 1975 and in the National Guard from December 1975 until Jan 1980?
A Viet Nam veteran is someone who was actually in Viet Nam. You can say you are a Viet Nam era soldier, but MOST troops were pulled out in 1973 and completed in 1975 during the fall of Saigon.
