The Department of Veterans Affairs National Cemetery Administration (NCA) Outreach Officer, Larry Provost spoke at ROA’s National Convention in Memphis and briefed the General Assembly on the variety of services the NCA offers to veterans such as “Pre-Need” application where veterans can confirm their eligibility and have their service information uploaded in the VA NCA system.
Mr. Provost also briefed that to be interred in an VA cemetery, the servicemember has to have served any period of active duty other than for training, and that in addition to the DD214, other forms may be accepted to verify this such as an NGB22, NGB23, separation orders, and retirement orders.
