The veteran’s full name should be printed or typed, so that it can be read
clearly. The request must contain the signature of the veteran or the
signature of the next of kin if the veteran is deceased. Include the
veteran’s branch of service, service number or Social Security
number and exact or approximate dates of service. If available,
