I know his MOS and his stationing, but neither of us know what his duties were.

By the VA's definition, and they are the authority and have full access to his records, he is a Vietnam vet.

I understand that many if not most people, including me at one time, make the same assumptions, but it isn't factually accurate.

Would the guys that did support work on the carriers get to call themselves Vietnam vets? What about the loaders in Tokyo or Manila? How about at Pearl? Where is the line?
