Note: If you are needing other information or if your DD-214 or NGB-22 is not complete, please contact the National Personnel Records Center online by Clicking Here, or you may call (314) 801-0800 to request more information.

 

4: Proof of Military Service: You must submit a legible copy of your DD-214 or NGB-22. 

 

Note: For security purposes, submit your proof of service documentation with your SSN (Social Security Number) and any other Personally Identifiable Information (PII) whited-out/blocked-out to protect your privacy. JFVA does not require your SSN for membership.        

 

Any application/documentation submitted with SSNs will be rejected.

 

5: A one-time membership donation payment of $35. Veterans will receive a lifetime membership to JFVA.
