Appreciate That.

Happy Veterans Day, To All My Fellow Comrade In Arms.

"SEMPER FI" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Again Op.

Your post reads like you've crossed over from humility to entitlement. No one served for free Applebees. Treat all of this like a gift you don't deserve and just be thankful or don't go and don't give your opinion. I don't because I find it too embarrassing to ask for the discounts, but that's just my preference.
Thank you all for your service

Does anyone know why the Walgreens logo is there? I don't see anything from Walgreens. Free flu shot?
Fixed. Thanks for pointing this out. Walgreens was the first .gif file listed. It is no more 🙂

Quote from Gidiver :
I think a photocopy of your dd214 is all you need, the only thing that is usually asked for and the only thing that is generally accepted. If you bring it in when you renew you driver license (at least in FL) they will put a Vet marker on it; but that never works with most businesses because some state probably don't put a Veteran designation on the DL. So, with very rare exception, and not counting an active duty ID or retired ID; it is the DD214.
I know of no "veteran ID." other than the ID the VA provides for people who are eligible for VA healthcare and I have never known any organization to accept that as a proof of veteran status. DD214

I use my va card fine no need for your dd214

I have the "Veteran" designation on my driver's license. Much easier than to carry around a DD214. Thank you for putting this list together.
You're very welcome.

The va and a private company (I am thinking office depot) paired up to offer official veterans id cards. It's odd, but legit.

Yup, just get your discharge paper(DD214), SS, DL/Passport/State ID uploaded if you want to apply for a VET ID. As long as you were discharge honorably. You're good to go. In Texas, I just carry my ID and ID.ME app on my phone 99% of the time, I'm good.

Quote from OneOfTooMany :
I don't take part in any of this because I'm not going to argue with some 20-year-old about what constitutes a valid proof of being a veteran. They have no idea, and I find it highly offensive to be questioned about it.

I little understanding goes a long way. Without a universally recognized ID for vets, it's always going to be confusing for the 20 somethings to figure out. I hand them my retired ID and many times they still look like they have no idea what it is.

Chick-fil-A sometimes gives Veterans Day discounts at individual locations. These specials vary and depend on the local franchise owners, so please contact your local restaurant for more details.

Chick-fil-A may offer a free chicken sandwich for all active-duty personnel and veterans at participating franchises.

For Kohls - is there any way to finagle the 30% discount to get something on their online store? Could I request the B&M order it for me or something?
