? For veterans.

[bulletslinger101]

It's unlikely he can even get on a base.

Here's the skinny on Vet ID cards. https://www.va.gov/records/get-veteran-id-cards/vic/

I just got the Veteran brand added to my DL last time, just had to show my DD214, which I pulled from my cloud storage via my phone standing at the counter. YMMV.

HD is entirely store dependant. My local HD now offers to match Lowes everyday 10% Vet discount. They only started doing that in the last year or so, I believe they were catching a lot of flak. None of the discounts generally apply to any sale items and certain exempted products. I prefer Lowes in general anyway, I just give my phone number (as can my wife or son) and a plus is they have Vet parking up front as well. They do often ask for ID because people are trying to game their generosity by having 7th cousins, etc. - relatives that do not live in the household - use the discount.

My local beverage store changed ownership and also gives me 10% on any non-sale item.

I don't expect the discounts or go out of my way to get them everywhere, but appreciate them when offered, and if it will save me a significant amount, I ask.

I sent OP a pm. I misunderstood and though it was a retired ID card he was talking about. My bad.

Green ID is Active Duty (or used to be)
Red ID is Guard or Reserve
Blue ID is Retired Veteran
Brown ID is for dependents

If he has a blue retired veteran ID card and it is expired, you need to contact the Mission Support Squadron at Dobbins ARB.

You can't do it online. It has to be in person. I recommend making an appointment. Retired ID cards are dated to expire when you're eligible for Medicare. It changes the medical care eligibility on the card.

can be done at N G unit, {well for 100% disability anyway}

The green ID you are referring to for active duty has been out of use since the early 2000s.

Get your money back from HD and buy him a Lowes card. Problem solved!

Did you mistakenly send me a PM?

I get the discount all the time, but I only have the flag on my license. I never ask for the discount, my wife always does though.

I ran into that at several stores, but some stores went ahead and accepted my VA card. They did show me the policy though. Lowes require you to fill out an application on line. When you do, your phone number is all you need to get the discount.

I did mine at the customer service counter in store.

Home depot is the only store that he has ever had any issues with his va card.

Nope, the PM was intentional. Now the contents of the PM needs to be tweaked. Lol
