VA ID card, or a picture of yourself IN UNIFORM. Some of the places listed below have a
webpage on their company website explaining what they are offering in detail, and what kinds of
proof-of-service they will accept.

Veteran’s Day Discounts 2011
November 04, 2011 | Kate
Every year, companies across the US offer a wide varieties of deals and discounts in honor of
Veteran’s Day, 11 November. This list will continue to be updated as I learn new information.
Please be sure to contact individual locations to verify hours and restrictions. This is a nice
thing that companies do for the military and I hate to see it being turned into something negative
due to miscommunication or disagreements about documentation. Each business gets to make
their own rules about what they consider acceptable identification in order to qualify for the
promotion. Also, please be sure to tip on the pre-discount amount of the check. Those servers
are working hard, too!
I’m just doing restaurants and other food items today, or else the post will be impossibly long.
Up next: entertainment, shopping, and other goodies.
Restaurants

***If not already a member of www.military.com, go and sign up....IT'S FREE!!! They have well
over a thousand discounts listed (under BENEFITS tab at the top) for businesses nationwide,
that are valid YEAR ROUND, or....until the offer expires. There is a TON of other information of
interest is available. Check them out, you just might find something of interest.
Some wireless companies offer a 10% discount to FEDERAL EMPLOYEES....that's you! The
Department of the Army, Navy, and Air Force are part of the DoD (USMC falls under the
Department of the Navy), and the Coast Guard is under the jurisdiction of the Department of
Homeland Security. ALL are affiliated with the FEDERAL GOVERNMENT. Contact your carrier
and inquire.
If you don't live in a military town, just ask the manager at any business if they offer a military
discount. Ask the manager because some clerks may not actually know, and will say NO.
Maximize the value of your service to our nation. The worst that can happen is they say no.
Even a 5% discount keeps 5% more in your pocket. If that business doesn't offer a discount,
check with their competitor.
THANK YOU for your service to our great nation!!!
