Military records help prove military service when applying for jobs or government benefits. They’re also helpful for ancestry and historical research.

The DD-214 is required to claim certain military benefits, college education discounts, veteran preference in hiring, VA Loans, medical benefits, association membership, a veteran’s funeral benefit, school enrollment, and many other things.

PRC will verify the awards to which a veteran is entitled and forward the request along with the records verification to the appropriate service department for issuance of the medals.
