It depends on your definition of veteran. If it means that you served in the military, then yes. Many offers and discounts apply to any former service member who can prove their service. Many, however, also require an 'Honorable Discharge', versus, say, Other than Honorable, or Medical.
However, to join a veterans' organization, such as the VFW, you need to be able to prove that you were actually in a war/conflict.
I, personally, wouldn't try to claim it unless I served at least a full tour of duty, unless I was discharged for war injuries.
Who made the veterans Exempt flag?
The Veteran Exempts, commanded by a Captain Woolsy, was a local New York militia company composed of socially prominent and politically powerful citizens of Plattsburg who were undoubtedly motivated by a feeling of patriotism. Like the Home Guard in Britain during the Second World War, they did provide a valuable reserve in a time of crisis.
The Veteran Exempts flag was used at the Battle of Plattsburgh, in upper New York, in 1814. The Battle, also known as the Battle of Lake Champlain, ended the final British invasion attempt of the northern United States during the War of 1812. Fought shortly before the signing of the Treaty of Ghent, the American victory denied the British leverage to demand exclusive control over the Great Lakes and any territorial gains against the New England states. Little information is available on the activities of the Veterans Exempts for the remainder of the War of 1812.
The Veterans Exempt flag was described as "having a black background with 13 stars for the Union of White wrought in silver. That in the center of the flag there be a Death's Head, with cross bones under these an open wreath, with this motto, 'THY WILL BE DONE.' Over the Death's Head, surmounted as a crest, a Rattle-Snake with Thirteen Rattles, coiled, ready to strike, with this motto in a similar wreath inverted over it, 'DON'T TREAD ON ME.'"
