It should be a standard procedure fo all active and exmilitary to be able to get the 10% discount. Those who serverd their country and were honorably discharged don’t recieve the recognition. I personally belong to VFW American Legion and VA and have been denied. Most are young people that don’t have any idea what any of these IDs mean. If they are going to offer these discounts they should advise their help on how to ID a fomer and present veteran with card carrying ID. When I was discharged I wasn”t issued a card saying I was a veteran. Once I connected with VA VFW and American Legion I carried ID. Many vets don’t join these organizations but they are still vets..

DOWN IN MANAHAWKIN NEW JERSEY IT ALL DEPENDS ON WHO’S AT THE REGISTER SOMETIMES THEY DO HONOR IT, AND SOMETIMES THEY DON’T. IN STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK THEY ARE VERY GOOD IN HONORING IT AT BOTH STORES. AND THEY USUALLY SAY THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE WHICH IS VERY NICE.

The last two times in Home Depot they refused to discount and told me that they only gave the 10% to disable vets.No more shopping here.Lowe has always given the 10%.

I also went to Lowes store in Warrington,Pa and was able to get the discount,for Veterans,Until today. The employee was rude and also said for active or retired. I had a VA Card honered by the court house which I had gotten a VA card. I was told that it would be honered at lowes.
The manager was not Honoring the Veterans also at Lowes! when I called him up about this matter.
If you Lowes don’t want to honor us,Thanks because if it wasn’t for us VETERANS! We would not be a free Country..

I was told you have to have service connected under your pic on your VA ID if your not active duty. I also Went to HD to pick up a ladder and it would not give me the discount. Some kind of contractors special or something. The girl at the register gave me the 10% anyway and a big smile. I always feel funny pulling out the card , but I’m out of work and and need any help I can get. I want to say ‘thank you’ to the stores for showing some gardatude, not many did when I was in.

Correction 1stCav, not 101st.
On 19 January, she rejoined the carrier task group which had moved to “Yankee Station” in the Gulf of Tonkin. Sproston was detached from 5 to 11 February to perform trawler surveillance and blocking. During this time, she observed a Russian Okean-Class vessel, the Gidrofon, which was believed to be gathering electronic and tactical information. She rejoined the carrier group which returned to Subic Bay until 22 February. Back at “Yankee Station,” Sproston was again detached for Naval Gunfire Support duty.

She arrived off the coast, in the II Corps area, on 1 March and remained there until the 20th, firing 40 support missions for the 1st Cavalry Division and South Vietnamese Marines. The most eventful came on 9 March when, during a three hour battle, her guns helped to repulse a battalion-strength Viet Cong attack against Republic of Vietnam Marines near Tam Quan.

Lowes has followed hd in my town . service related or retired only.
sit at a desk for 20 and retire, you get it, be in a combat zone and make it out, your a second class vet. a vet is a vet, I do not need Lowes or HD to classify my service. Ask the 101st at yankee station if I qualify. If they say no i will accept it.
