Veteran Services. "Honorable Discharge Identification Cards - Call for appointment: 908-659-7403. A courtesy military discharge documentation identification card is available at no charge to all veterans who have filed their honorable military discharge papers, form DD-214, at the Union County Clerk's Office. The card includes a book and page number validating that the holder is honorably discharged." "Military Discharges - Call for appointment: 908-659-7403.

Veterans who are Union County residents may apply for a Veterans' Peddlers License at no charge." The clerk's ID-cards page records that "Effective January 1, 2010 the Union County Clerk's Office will no longer issue County Identification Cards," so the veteran card stands on the discharge filing. Veteran Discounts. "The following are discounts offered by local businesses in Union County to all veterans. As more retailers offer veteran discounts, we will post them. Please contact the retailer for more details." The directory runs from auto dealers and lumber yards through opticians, dry cleaners and restaurants, and invites businesses: "Thank a veteran for their service to our Country by offering Union County Veterans Discounts - Will you consider offering a special discount to veterans who show their Union County [card]?" Gold Star. "For appointments or questions please call 908-527-4787. Union County Clerk Joanne Rajoppi announces that Gold Star Parent identification cards are now available from her office, for mothers and fathers of military service members who died while on active duty. A new state law authorizes counties in New Jersey to issue the card, which provides for free access to New Jersey state parks, forests and beaches, and the New Jersey State Museum."
