HAMILTON, Ohio (Tribune News Service) When veteran and Hamilton, Ohio resident Jack Hoaglan Sr. died in December at the age of 73, his family and funeral home were unable to obtain a simple federal form that verified the character of his discharge from the Army a DD form 214 that could have allowed his family to bury him with military honors.
