The criteria for obtaining a VRA are:

• Disabled veterans

• Veterans who served on active duty in the Armed Forces during a war, or in a campaign or expedition for which a campaign badge has been authorized

• Veterans who, while serving on active duty in the Armed Forces, participated in a United States military operation for which an Armed Forces Service Medal was awarded

• Recently separated veterans (i.e., discharged or released from active duty not longer than 3 years from VRA appointment date)

Veterans claiming eligibility on the basis of service in a campaign or expedition for which a medal was awarded must be in receipt of the campaign badge or medal. Eligible veterans must have been separated under honorable conditions.

The Department of Homeland Security is an EOE.
