although the VA might not provide any assistance to him based on his discharge, other veteran organizations/charities might provide something to him. I just have to look up some information.

The biggest problem might be the lack of documentation. I would assume that they would want to verify that this person was at least deployed to Iraq/Afghanistan, but a copy of his deployment orders shouldn't be that hard to dig up and might be all that some of these other organizations might want to see.
