Description

VET1930 indicates whether the respondent was an ex-service veteran (Army, Navy, or Marine Corps) for any war or military expedition (Boxer Rebellion, Mexican Expedition, etc.). Those in the service during any period at which the U.S. was at war were considered veterans, as well as those who participated in a particular military expedition. Those in the service during peacetime were not to be considered veterans.
