Attention all Vets

Its official, DD-214's are NOW Online. (and tons of other info)

The National Personnel Records Center (NPRC) has provided the
following website for veterans to gain access to their DD-214's online:

http://vetrecs.archives.gov/

This may be particularly helpful when a veteran needs a copy of his DD-214 for employment purposes. NPRC is working to make it easier for veterans with computers and Internet access to obtain copies of documents from their military files.

Military veterans and the next of kin of deceased former military members may now use a new online military personnel records system to request documents.

Other individuals with a need for documents must still complete the Standard Form 180, which can be downloaded from the online web site.

Because the requester will be asked to supply all information essential for NPRC to process the request, delays that normally occur when NPRC has to ask veterans for additional information will be minimized.

The new web-based application was designed to provide better service on these requests by eliminating the records centers mailroom and processing time.

Please pass this information on to former military personnel you may know and their dependents.

New York broadcasters Thirteen/WNET and WLIW21 proudly present NEW YORK WAR STORIES, a major multi-media event that offers a look at World War II through the eyes of the New Yorkers who were touched by it. Write your story - or theirs - and send it to them. They'll post it to the WAR STORIES Web site, and it might even become part of a broadcast documentary. Videos and stories can be mailed in to P.O. Box 1313, New York, NY 10116. Visit www.thirteen.org or www.wliw.org to upload your videos and for more information, or call 212-560-2888.
Click on the picture to the left or the links above to go to the website and more information.

The 2008 American Legion College of New York cover letter and application is now on the Department Web Page and ready for downloading. Just go to Programs and then College. Please tell everyone in your post, county and district. We almost had a full class last year so it is important to get applications in early because the interest is increasing and there are only 100 slots. If you have any questions, please call or write.
