No card programme published. The Recorder's pages describe discharge recording but no Ohio veterans identification card under 317.241. The card is optional for counties, so a veteran who wants one should call the office and ask; the commission's own pages only point to the federal military and veteran identification cards issued through DEERS and VA.
