Why do Vets feel they are not worthy of a discount?

Let me add some context. The reason I ask this is because every member of our armed forces is vital to helping to further the mission of the respected branches. Every member keeps our forces on task and ensures that the freedoms that the American people enjoy are not lost.
With that I am grateful to all our vets for serving this great nation. Take advantage of your well deserved discounts and don't ever feel you aren't worthy of that discount as you are worthy!

I’ll take it if offered, but when Home Depot says they want a copy of my DD214 I think not. The “veteran” designator on my driver’s license should be more than adequate.

Try Lowes. Once you get in the system they give you a discount card and a bar code you can add to your key chain.

Most (if not all vets) will tell you that we didn't/don't do what we did/do for discounts. Are they nice? Sure. I personally don't actively seek them out. If offered, I will accept. But I will never actively seek them out.

You beat me to it, SFC Livingston. I won't turn one down, but I don't ask for them. I never served for the discounts.

It's not that we feel we are unworthy. It's just none of us did what we did for discounts. I will happily accept one if offered, and be grateful, but I won't ask for one. That is not to diminish anyone else's desire to do so. That's just me.

I'm with you, SSgt (Join to see). I'll take a discount if offered. Lowes is a good example of a store that offered a discount and I am happy to take it. I don't shop for military discounts. I served my Country happily. Grateful to a Country that offered me the opportunity to serve.
