Attached is a list of firms known to give discounts to Active Duty
Military personnel and Federal employees. These discounts are intended
to apply only to Active Duty Personnel, though some will extend to
Reserve members. Some Veterans feel this automatically applies to them,
but it will only in a few cases. You should ask the merchant before
ringing up.
In addition I can tell you that both Home Depot and Lowe's currently
will give you a 10% discount on purchases if you provide proof of
service. That may mean showing more than a ball cap or T-shirt. Each
store has the right to determine who is eligible and what they require
for proof when it comes to Veterans. As long as their competitor offers
this discount, I suspect they both will.
I have found that most will accept your VA medical Card if you are
entitled to one.

Home Depot here in Michigan requires a photo ID for Veterans. Must be from the VA or another Veterans Organization like DVA.
