Only those Veterans with honorable service will be able to apply for the ID card, which will provide proof of military service, and may be accepted by retailers in lieu of the standard DD-214 form to obtain promotional discounts and other services where offered to Veterans.
“The new Veterans Identification Card provides a safer and more convenient and efficient way for most Veterans to show proof of service,” said VA secretary Dr. David J. Shulkin. “With the card, Veterans with honorable service to our nation will no longer need to carry around their paper DD-214s to obtain Veteran discounts and other services.”

I'm curious about redundancy. Several states, including mine (Michigan) have added "veteran" designations to the license itself, and so far, not one business has ever not accepted it as validation.

This veterans ID card would be great for those who are not retired or reserve. The caveat is convincing outside businesses, both executive making policy and customer service workers, to recognize this card as proof of past military service.
