On May 20, we partnered with The American Legion for a Twitter chat about memorial benefits, using the hashtag #HonorAVeteran. Held just before Memorial Day, the chat addressed frequently asked questions regarding memorial benefits, eligibility requirements, and burial options available to Veterans and their family members. Here are some of the top questions from the chat and their answers:
What does “burial in a VA cemetery” include?
How can Veterans get a copy of their discharge papers if they need one?
How can Veterans learn about burial at Arlington National Cemetery?
Are there other national cemeteries for Veterans besides Arlington National Cemetery?
