Thank you.

When I talk with the SIL, I fear the DoD and general public simply do not give a shi*.

I attended one a few years back, it was well worth it. Doubt I make it to DC this year.

Tractor Supply is, IMO, one of the most consistent retailers to show support for military veterans (like me) by establishing year-round 'preferred parking' for veterans with signage and dedicated parking spots right beside the front door of their establishment. Every time I park there I wonder when someone is going to challenge my usage of the designated parking spot. 25+ times of parking and I've never been even looked at!

I've never noticed whether our TS has a designated area. Our Home Depot does and I use them when available. Some give me the stink eye. I carry on.

Found this for the Marines, hopefully they don't eat the Crayolas.

I have a license plate with the Vietnam service medal.

I prefer parking at Home Depot or Lowe's though, where when I buy something, they provide me with a
10% discount.

TSC discount = ZERO!

Look at the first post of this thread.

Not true! TSC offers discount only around a few holidays.

Not only is it 15% you can stack discounts like if your buying fence material in bulk. A few years back on/near Veterans day I bought several thousand dollars worth of fence materials. I was able to get 20% to 22% off everything.

The HD and Lowe's do not offer the 10% off building materials.

At Southerlands I can get 10% off plus use my tax exemption, can't do that at HD or Lowe's either.

For me, a 10% discount 365 days of the year definitely trumps a 15% discount "only around a few holidays".
The Home Depots/Lowe's around me seem to offer the 10% on everything in the store, every day.
I do not like to have to wait for proper "holidays" to make specific purchases.

Different strokes for different folks:
I have no idea where the closest Southerlands is, in either Florida or the Northeast, but I'll bet it is well over 1,000 miles away.
Most of us do not have a sales tax exemption.

What ever.

Like I said, NO military discount on building materials.

Used this store in MA and there was .23cent tax for this lumber.

But if I put tools or a kitchen cabinet in the cart, the discount applies.

I just got some tickets to Cirque du Soleil San Antonio, TX
I did have to pay the service fee to agency that handles the tickets, that was only $14.97, I looked up the donated tickets (seat&section) they were $204 each!!! VETTIX does highly encourage to write a thank you to the organization. We went to NASCAR earlier this year, that was awesome as well.
