I'm not sure if there are any other veterans on the site from Ohio who served during the Persian Gulf War, in Iraq or in Afghanistan, but the State of Ohio is offering bonus money through their Ohio Veterans Bonus Program. The criteria for meeting the conditions is on the website:
https://veteransbonus.ohio.gov/odvs_...uirements.aspx
You didn't have to serve in the theater to be paid, you just need to have served during the specific dates listed. It's not a lot of money- $100 for each month of service in theater, $50 for each month of service outside of the theater. Total combined compensation cannot exceed $1500.
I had no idea Ohio was doing this until my mom mentioned something to me last week, and a coworker who was also in the Gulf also said something. You have until the end of December (I believe) to apply. Anyway, read the website if you are from Ohio and served in any of those three theaters.
