Resources
10% veterans discount at Lowes. Use your DD-214 or
military ID and get 10% off any purchase (including sale items).
This is not a publicized discount - you must ask for it at
checkout AND have proper ID/proof of service. The discount applies
EVERYDAY. This is why I shop at Lowes rather than Home Depot or Ace
where such discounts apply maybe only on Veterans Day.
