Military veterans and active-duty personnel are eligible for significant discounts on cellphone plans - if they know to ask. <br />

A few years ago my wife and I had been back and forth about getting a Weber grill because we had heard they are much better. They are also pricey.
We were in Home Depot Memorial Day weekend and they had a huge sign painting at the doors that said "All Vets 10% off all purchases".
We chewed on it and bought the Weber. I just showed my VA card.
Very very happy with it.
Veterans are also eligible for 10% discount at most Home depot and Lowes stotes

:evilgrin:.....BILLY....I called Verizon, and asked about a discount. Was told that I could get a 15% cut on my bill if I just faxed a copy of my DD214 to them. I'll try to...this week, and I'll let everyone know what happppen's!!!....:D
It works I just up dated my cell phone and was given a 17% discount showing my VA hospital card.

I think you can't say anything about the big boss in the white house or u loose your job. They hated Gen. Patrius now ABC, CNN and others say he is the best man in the world,
any comments from the marines today

Between me and my daughters we probably have 8 or 9 prepaid Net10 cell phones we no longer use. All are functional. Any place where I can send them so that they can be distributed to our troops? Be willing to purchase the minute cards as well and send those along.

Thanks Bill for starting this thread and Rocky for adding information
I use U.S. Cell and I don't think they have anything but I bought there new phone called the Quantico and love it. Its suppose to be water proof but it looks and feels rugged.
I've save lots of money at Lowe's and Home Depot by showing my VA ID card
Thanks to Ed letting me know Apple-bee's give discount but you have to ask for it and at first they told me no. Then the manager came out and gave it to me but put it under police discount which I don't care what its listed under but it should be military discount.
I think it depends on the State you live in whether you get it or not but you need to at least ask.

Definitely go to the USO's at the airport...I've been to many where they use these types of phones to call family members.
