Military Discounts!
Here is a list of FREE or discounted items/places for military members. Please feel free to contact me if you know of others. I’d like to keep this a current list.
How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!
~Maya Angelou
No one enters the military for the discounts. There aren’t enough of them to make it worth it. But knowing that people recognize the sacrifices of our military men and women and their family is comforting. While people complain about how their husbands/wives are gone for a two week business trip and how hard it is without them, we military spouses would give our eye-teeth to have a deployment last only that long. We know the true meaning of sacrifice and love for our country.
While Huzzy and I never expect discounts and incentives for businesses, you better believe that we will frequent those businesses more often. Why? Not because of the discount (which is definitely nice) but because those businesses are ones that support our military members and their country. And if those businesses don’t see the discounts being used, they will think that it doesn’t matter and stop offering them. But it DOES matter. Our spouses need to know that people beyond their own families care what they are doing for their country.
Amtrak - 10% discount for active duty military member, spouse and dependents. 10% also off the already 50% off child price (ages 2-15).
Anheuser-Busch Parks – Free admission for active, reserve & up to 3 direct dependents (for 2010)!
Home Depot – Now offers its 10% Memorial Day & Veteran’s Day discount year round for active-duty. You’ll have to ask for it as it is not advertised.

Lowe’s – Now offers its 10% Memorial Day & Veteran’s Day discount year round for active-duty, National Guard and reserve, retiree and disabled service members and their families with a valid military ID.

*Local stores may have different rules. Some franchises leave discounts up to individual store managers.

New York & Company gives a 15% (I think, maybe it’s only 10%) discount when you show your ID.
The Buckle gives 10%, NY&Company is 15%. I have found that many places do if you ask. yes it may be annoying always asking but hey why not!
I was a Navy brat, a sailor stationed on the USS Yellowstone, the wife of a sailor and now an iPhone App developer. I usually have some promo codes for a free copy of one of my iPhone Birth Announcement Apps. I would like to give these to members of the US Armed Forces. Please visit http://www.dawnkempf.com to view “Our Family of iPhone Birth Announcement Apps for Your Family”. Decide which App you are interested in and then email me at info@dawnkempf.com to see if I have one available. If I do, I would be happy to send it to you.
Thank You!
Dawn
