Due to extraordinary circumstances, I apologize for not posting the following earlier than today.
On behalf of our nation, our veterans have protected us from all enemies both foreign and domestic, including those that have paid the ultimate price, their lives, or incurred disabilities that they have to either endure or overcome, with due and earned respect, tomorrow is a national holiday=Veterans Day.
So, to all to all my fellow vets, below of list of some of the known discounts offered and known to me at the time of this writing.
Finally, we veterans thank the merchants listed below that give recognition to those veterans. And humbly request other corporations and companies follow their lead and actively promote and market to this deserving group of individuals the same kind of recognition.
If any vet knows or is aware of other veteran discounts offered, that are substantial, please send an email to my personal attention at tscherer4@centurylink.net Keeping my promise-hoping others do the same, not just tomorrow but every day.
