Help with korean war vet info.........

Hello and thanks for viewing,

Researching on my grandfather and his service with the Army. All I have is a Photo and VA File Number. Two Questions…

1.) If he has a VA File #, does that make him a combat veteran?

2.) He is wearing Korean War Combat Stripes on his uniform, Does that make him a combat veteran?

Thanks, all reply’s can be posted here for E-mailed.
