I was in the checkout at Lowe's the other day and the cashier asked me if I was a Veteran. They may have been clued in because I was under the new house spraying mold so I was wearing some old BDU's. I said yes and he said if I had my card I would get an extra 10% off. What card? I don't have a military I.D., my question is where or who do I talk to to get one? The house is old and I will be spending alot of money at Lowe's so it would save me quite a bit. Thanks.
military and retires always get the discount at lowes and home depot.Originally Posted by lonecoaster
i know the local base is now issueing card for retired miltary and retired civilians
if you're retired military you should have your ID card anyways
We must reject the idea that every time a law's broken, society is guilty rather than the lawbreaker. It is time to restore the American precept that each individual is accountable for his actions.

a lot of resteraunts give discounts to veterans also
Not sure we have a base nearby. I haven't called around yet, been pretty busy.New to the V.A. system, really haven't talked to anyone or even worked through the mountain of paperwork I've recieved. I'm guessing that the info. I need is in there somewhere. Thanks
Any Vet?
Not sure how it works Linda. I did find the issuing center in my area and I will call and see If I can get some info.
If you had a VA appt. or got meds of any kind, lab work etc. in the past 6-7 years they always ask to see your card. It is a picture ID with the words VA Department of Veterans Affairs and your name. Only place I've seen them made is at a VA Hosp. Same size as a driver licenses.
From the time you were born till you ride in a hearse, there is nothing so bad that it couldn't be worse!
All fringe benifits must be authorized by Helen Waite, if you want your SCI fixed go to Helen Waite!
Why be politically correct when you can be right!
A retiree card is issued by the DOD, not the VA.
If you apply for VA health benefits, at the time of approval your VA medical center Member Services office will also issue you a photo ID. Perhaps the is the card the clerk wants to see. They may also accept a copy of your DD214. Check with the store manager.
