Interesting. I get a hit every three or four days on the search engine where someone asks (I don’t know who) what “service connected” means on their VA identification card. As an example, I will include mine here. If you are rated over 30% by the vA, they put the Service connected on the card. That means you can get your discount at Home Depot and Krispy Kreme. vA knows exactly how much you’re rated at when you go in to a VAMC. 

I think that’s a really great picture of me on mine.
