Both Lowes and Home Depot give a military discount. You just show them your VA card or a dd214 etc. Lowes you can apply on line and get a special card also online purchases are discounted. Not so yet at Home Depot just in store purchases.

Stories I’ve heard from my folks about the VFW aren’t very nice.

When my dad and uncle came back from service in "The Nam" as they called it, the VFW didn't want anything to do with them; that's why the Vietnam Veterans of America was formed. The VFW veterans (God Bless their service) are slowly passing away and they need more vets to keep it going. I'm sure the Iraq vets and the Afghan vets have no trouble joining, if they are.

VNVA

When I renewed my state of Maryland driver’s license this summer, they asked if I was a veteran, because Maryland has begun to show veteran status on one’s drivers license. I showed them my retired ID card and they checked the block. They also said that a DD214 is valid proof of veteran status (snide comment suppressed).

How about unsupressing it?

Got a hunch, and if right, I agree.

Dimly recall something like that, though I had n interest in joining that group.

Some did, some didn’t. I think most were just tired of it all and wanted to be left alone, not joining any group.

Culver’s gives a 25% discount, year round. Tell them you’re a vet before ordering, no Id required.

VFW.

Had no interest in VNVA, got the feeling at the time it was a John F'n Kerry type outfit.

Not sure. Seen lots of bikers though with that emblem on their jackets.

I applied for one. After a couple of months, I got an email that I needed to fax a copy of my DD-214 and my driver’s license. I did. Another month goes by, and they tell me i have to provide an electronic signature. I said the hell with it.

Whoa...thank you!

I’m passing this on to my daughter (Army) and her hubby (retired Army).

Thanks again! Mary Christmas!

Thanks for the ping. I carry my retired ID card, so that’s probably all I need.
