I never heard of a DD214 'card', it's an 8-1/2 x 11 sheet of paper with your service dates, duty stations, rank, etc. It's given to you by the personnel office on the day of your discharge and your told never to lose it, and make several copies.
If you live in Sumter County, go to the 'gold dome' county building on Powell Rd and 466A. Turn right in the main lobby and go down the hall to the tax office on the left near the end just before the driver's license waiting area. Inside that tax office is a Veterans Office that may be able to assist. I was in there recently to get confirmation that my military disability was combat related. They looked it up in 2 minutes and gave me a letter confirming the fact which I took to the property tax office 5 feet away and got a good size deduction on my property taxes.
