VET55X64
Veteran, served 1955 to 1964

Description

VET55X64 indicates whether persons were engaged in active-duty military service in the armed forces of the United States between February 1955 and July 1964. It includes those on active duty in the United States Army, Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard during this period, and it excludes those in the National Guard and military Reserves, unless they were called to active duty.

Although the questions that generated these responses were asked only of those who indicated they had seen active duty, the universe for VET55X64 in 1980 and 1990 is, in effect, all persons, since "N/A" and "No" are combined. In the 2000 census, the ACS, and the PRCS "N/A" (code 0) was coded separately from "No" (code 1).

See VETSTAT, the screening variable for veterans variables, for more information on the types of service included in or excluded from the veterans variables.
