Military personnels take the burden of the country like their own. They are awake when civilian citizens are deep asleep just for good safety. Am glad these lists are of more beneficial to them. And am sure making them entitle to this discount is not a waste of money and power but a mean of unlimited recommendation for their loyal duties.This is a very useful review that worth revisiting.
Hi Stella, Our enlisted men and women have definitely earned these benefits. I’m happy to see so many places honoring their service!
Warm Regards, Alyce
It is awesome to know that there are these amazing discounts for active and retired and Military Veterans. It is also good to know that the discounts are not just available in a particular industry but stretched across between communication, entertainment, fitness, and even dining. We sometimes feel as if veterans and others that served are not given what we think they deserve and this, I believe, is just a grand gesture towards something positive.
Hi Stacii, You said it beautifully! It is a wonderful grand gesture and I’m sure it’s appreciated. It is quite heartwarming to see that so many different industries recognize the sacrifice and dedication of our service men and women.
Warm Regards, Alyce
This is very informative article,. I never have thought that there are numerous discounts from different companies ranging from shopping, dining, insurance and more. I am not also aware that they have discounts on activities and even jewelry! They definitely deserved it as they have served their country and countrymen.
Thanks for sharing this article, it’s good to read and learn something new like this.
Hi Gillian, I was also surprised at some of the things I learned while researching this article! Tiffany has such beautiful jewelry designs and it makes me happy to know that they provide a discount to military members.
Warm Regards, Alyce
Hey Alyce
This a great post! I think it is a great way to give back to those military family who helped or are helping keep the country safe. I really like the fact that the discounts touch a lot of what we all need to live decently.
I have bookmarked this post and will be sharing it with my friends and family, even on social media to let people know about it. I really think lots of people should read this in order to help the veterans and active military to take advantage of these offers. I meet many veterans in different shelters and this can help us organize our assistance in a better way.
Thanks
Thank you so much for helping to spread the news about the discounts for our military and veterans. They have definitely earned them!!
Warm Regards, Alyce
Good list of companies that are offering huge discounts for the enlisted personnel and I must say thanks because I feel we are no longer neglected for our sacrifices. I’m check some of the services that are here in the list, maybe it is better if you could add some more. But thanks anyway for this list, I will bookmark this page for future reference.
Hi Gomer, I’m definitely open to adding additional military discounts to the post. Please share if you know of any other discounts that have been left off of the list!
Warm Regards, Alyce
I truly believe that our veterans who served this country should be blessed each day. They all should know about these discount awards. I believe it’s not easy to find these opportunities often; maybe I am wrong. However, I know serveral veterans who would love the dining and traveling discounts for sure. Will spread the word.
Thanks Linda, I think it’s great that so many places offer these brave men and women a discount. Hopefully the list will evolve over time to include even more places with military discounts!
Warm Regards, Alyce
