How can you find out your military classification?

If your registered for the draft it'll show on your draft status paper. If your discharged it'll show on your DD-214. If you join AMVETS or the VFW they'll get it for you. AMVETS was started by WW2 Vets in 1944. VFW was started by Spanish-American War Vet of 1898, in 1899. AMERICAN LEGION was started by WW1 vets in 1919. VVA was started by Vietnam Vets in 1979.


How has the US helped Vietnam veterans?

A federal anti-discrimination law protecting Viet War vets was passed in the mid 70's. Funny. in the mid 70's these guys were spat on, hated by the people of the united states. Turned to the streets, still lots of Vietnam Vets are homeless. Very sad, they were doing what they were ORDERED to do, and in turn, got spat on when they got home. No welcome home comings. mostly. They JUST recently, added Agent Orange to the list of of a small list of things the Vietnam Vets are disabled for. What I don't understand is the difference between any war. They are all wars. However (no disrespect) 9/11, for some reason are treated differently than WW1 WWII Vietnam, etc. I don't understand this logic.

Did any civil war vets also serve in WW1?

Possibly but I doubt it, as about fifty years had passed between the two wars. There were many Civil War veterans alive at the time of World War 1, but they would have been somewhat elderly for serving in another war.
