谁是退伍军人??
A veteran is a former member of the Armed Forces of the United States (Army, 海军, 海军陆战队, 空军, and Coast Guard) who served on active duty and was discharged under conditions that were other than dishonorable. There is no minimum number of days a student must have served on active duty to be considered a veteran. Periods of active duty for training, pursuant to an enlistment in the National Guard or 储备s, do not qualify a student as a veteran.
Former or current members of the National Guard or 储备s are not considered to be veterans unless they had prior or subsequent service with an active component of the Armed Forces.
