what is a veteran?!?!?
Favorite Answer
You must be the son, daughter, or spouse of:
A veteran who died or is permanently and totally disabled as the result of a service-connected disability. The disability must arise out of active service in the Armed Forces.
A veteran who died from any cause while such service-connected disability was in existence.
A service member missing in action or captured in line of duty by a hostile force.
A service member forcibly detained or interned in line of duty by a foreign government or power.
A service member who is hospitalized or receiving outpatient treatment for a service connected permanent and total disability and is likely to be discharged for that disability. This change is effective December 23, 2006.
Even with the info on here. The only way to truly find out would be to fill out the application.
For example, if your father suffered a disability while serving in the military (which must be documented), California students are given free tuition to any public school (community colleges, CSUs and UCs).
The only way for you to become a veteran is to enlist in the military, serve and be honorably discharged.
Good luck!
