Attention Veterans of World War II, Korean
and Vietnam wars!

See details below on how you can receive your high school
diploma in honor of your service.

OPERATION
RECOGNITION

Helping our veterans get their high school diplomas

Operation Recognition was created to recognize the dedication and sacrifice of World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War veterans who left school before graduation by awarding them with a high school diploma. The experiences and skills learned in the defense of freedom have given veterans unique knowledge and special insight most could never attain. This diploma reflects our pride and gratitude for their sacrifice and bravery.

To participate, veterans need only present one of the following as proof of service:

DD Form 214 (Report of Separation). WD AGO Form 53-55 is also acceptable.
Certificate of Service (Honorably served).
Certificate of Release or Discharge from Department of Defense (Merchant Marines).
Letter from a recognized veterans’ agency affirming such service.

Candidates who possess a High School Equivalency (GED) diploma and can provide proof of service are eligible for the program. Diplomas may be awarded to next of kin if eligibility is established.
