I just found this website that has hundreds of different discounts for veterans and active duty military and their families. It is totally FREE. (I like free) Plus you get a newsletter every month with really interesting stuff pertaining to the military and our families. They have local discounts on all sorts of things and a travel and adventure guide filled with discounts. I signed up a couple of months ago and I totally love it! I have used the discounts a few times now. Some of the offers are better than others. But check it out. The website is www.CommunityWarVets.org. Does anyone else know of any other places that have veteran discounts for local businesses? I really like to utilize businesses that help out veterans since I have to buy the stuff anyways. Might as well support a business that supports me and my family.

Baen Books (www.baen.com), a publisher of science fiction, will provide its books to fans who are blind, paralysed, or dyslexic, or are amputees, in electronic form free of charge, effective immediately. Baen Books is making this offer in recognition of Veterans Day, and all our disabled military veterans. Many Baen authors are veterans themselves, using a military setting as the setting of their tales. Right now convalescing vets might welcome an exciting, fast-action tale to pass the time. Jim Baen, founder of Baen Books, who passed on June 28, 2006, decided to "provide each challenged reader with a permanent pass" to the regular e-publication of Baen’s new books. His successor, publisher Toni Weisskopf, is implementing his idea with this program. Since 1999, Baen has published its new books as ebooks each month, in several formats, with no Digital Rights Management, through WebScriptions (www.webscriptions.net), for a small fee. Now, this service will be available at no cost to the disabled, who must apply for this privilege. Applications will be processed by ReadAssist (www.readassist.org), a volunteer group devoted to helping disabled readers find the books they want in the form they need, and join the community of fandom. The application form has been set up by ReadAssist, and can be found through either WebScriptions or ReadAssist. If you'd like to volunteer to help ReadAssist, please contact them at their website: query@readassist.org. Took me about a day to get full access to the site, free. I have read about 20 books so far.

My rule of thumb is: When I first go into a store (and that includes places to eat), I ask if they give veterans discounts. Some just say no, some say "I don't know" (I then ask to speak to a manager), and a few say, yes. I have had a couple of locally owned stores say they had never thought about it, but sure they are willing. I then tell them that I will spread the word at the local American Legion, VFW, etc., and ask the guys to shop there. I don't belong to VFW (not eligible, as I was only overseas during the "Cold" War), but I do call Bingo there as a relief caller, so I can get the word out there. If they are willing to give a discount, I think it's only fair to ask the vets to patronize them.

Although it wasn't their policy to give a discount as a sales manager I had the call on customer satisfaction discount (10%) and never failed to satisfy my fellow service members, vets and dependants. Most of the other PSM's were the same even though they were not military. Even the tightest store manager or district manager won't object when told customer satisfaction and the customer was going to go to the competition. Some may think I was abusing my position, but some of the things I seen done in retail to satisfy often not so good customers, I really didn't feel it to be abuse of authority to help out those making the biggest sacrifices.
