First of all, thank you to all the veterans and their families for your service to our country. I hope this list is a resource for you in your everyday needs. You deserve it!
Remember to bring a valid military ID and it is important to realize that discounts may vary by location, so call ahead to verify. Also, some of these discounts work online as well through a third-party military ID verification. Consequently, if redeeming online, you’ll want to have a digital copy of your ID (like a photo) or another military identification document ready. It can take five to twenty minutes to verify your military status online.
Deals that are for active-duty only are highlighted in green. Otherwise, deals are for both active and retired veterans!
Home Goods
Locations vary, but most offer 10% off to veterans and their families.

Many more theatres offer a military discount, so always ask.

Meanwhile, I recommend searching for them. David’s Bridal offers 10% off to service men and women and their significant others.
