Union County Freeholder Chairman Alexander Mirabella speaks with Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi about free honorable discharge identification cards for veterans during Union County’s Veterans Job Fair and Resource Event at the National Guard Armory in Westfield. The honorable discharge cards are available to veterans whose Certificate of Honorable Discharge and DD 214 forms are recorded at the Union County Clerk’s office. The card will include the book and page number where the veteran’s information is recorded to validate that the card holder is honorably discharged. It can assist veterans in receiving educational benefits, death benefits, licenses, local property tax rebates and discounts at big retailer box stores when presented with other identification.
