Semper Fi,
Recently you had a couple of news items in the newsletter about
Veteran's discounts and different businesses. Here in Texas any
Honorably Discharged Veteran may take his or her DD-214 down to
their local DMV and show it to the person there. Upon showing
their DD-214 and paying a small fee the term 'VETERAN' will then
be added to your driver's license. I've attached a copy of my
license showing the 'VETERAN' notation. You may use it in the
newsletter if you so desire.
The state of Texas had recently started doing this as a way of
honoring Veterans here and it is a big help to us. This is because
your DD-214 can't really be reduced well enough to still be
legibly read in order to fit in your wallet or purse. Once you get
your license with the 'VETERAN' notation on it you can then show
it at any business that offers discounts to active duty and or
Veterans and get your discounts.
Maybe other states offer this benefit also. I would suggest that
you check with your local DMV and find out if it is done. Thanks
for your wonderful online store and great weekly newsletter.
