Locally, the two Lowe's give a 10% discount to veterans with just my VA card and sincerely thank me for my military service each time. Lowe's always takes returns with no questions asked and are always willing to load my truck or trailer with building materials I buy. They will deliver to my house for no charge. My wife and I built a new house 3 years ago and bought two thirds of our building materials and supplies, including our cabinets, appliances and electrical and plumbing fixtures from Lowe's. With the 10% VA discount, we figure we saved $15,000 by shopping at Lowe's.

I've been to the local Home Depot a couple of times. They always wanted to argue with me about giving the 10% discount like their competitor Lowe's does without a hassle. Lowe's has better selections and better customer service. I see no reason to ever go back to Home Depot.

Agreed about Lowe’s, it is our store of choice. When I was working full time there was never any question about buying the most appropriate tool to fit our needs from the store that demonstrated values that we agreed with. Now that I am a stay at home mom we have had to make some compromises here and there that we previously would not have.

I thank you for your service. :)
