Military veterans may record their DD214 for free at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds. A copy of the DD214 is then accessible for free to the veteran and her/his family whenever needed. To protect the privacy of veterans, the document is not accessible to the public. The DD214 is a vital document with many purposes including to establish dates of military service, veterans benefits and burial.  http://cookrecorder.com/veteran-services/
