Operation Recognition

New York recognizes the dedication and sacrifice of World War II and Korean veterans who left school before graduation by awarding them with a high school diploma. The experiences and skills learned in 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)

  • 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 possessing a High School Equivalency (GED) diploma are eligible for the program. Diplomas may be awarded to next of kin if eligibility is established.
