During this time he was in the reserves in the U.S. Army. He was supposed to get discharged 6 mos. prior to Aug. 1964 but his tour was extended until 20 Nov. 1964 he was in the reserves.

He enlisted a rec'd an honorable discharge on 20 Feb 1962.

He is an immigrant from Ireland and has a Green Card.

The box on the DD214 states he is a citizen of the USA but the VA is not honoring this. The box that says U.S. Citizen has the YES box checked. He has assumed he as being he had to serve an extended tour of duty.

He has no way to access some of the money we have that is in U.S. treasuries as it seems that if you are not a U.S. citizen you are not allowed to hold them.

This is a mess and I have contacted an immigration attorney.
