No I didn't know they had that policy, but I will be applying for it. I lost my old VA card tho and the ^&%$#! Gainesville VA Hospital has been upgrading their card making system since last June and won't make any new cards. Can you get these at any park? BK

Been about a year or so but yes.

I believe all parks staffed with rangers can issue these.
