I absently left Wayne and Bill out of the headers list of DD214
recipients. My apologies gentlemen...

I did not get a DD214. I was Air Force and they use a different number.
Was looking for the DD214 when I went to social Security Administration
office.

In that page I was it appears there are several different DD forms
they might want. The DD214 is the release from active duty. There are
also a couple of forms that designate the discharge itself. They
indicated they might want to see them too.

The other document they reference is a DD-215 which is issued if a
correction is required on the original DD-214.

Do you carry all these documents with you at all times so you can get a
discount at Dunkin Donuts?

No. Dunkin' gives me the automatic "old fart" discount. :-)

But the DD-214 is an important document because it is the universally
accepted verification of service for educational, VA mortgage, health
care and burial (if desired) benefits.

I serve as a volunteer benefit advisor for recently discharged vets, so
I have to stay current with the regulations.
