Military Discounts
Below is a partial list of businesses, some offering discounts for military families and some that do not. Please note those businesses listed as not offering a military discount is not done to shame the business but simply to educate military families when deciding where to spend their limited financial resources. If we simply failed to list the business it would leave you wondering if they did not do a military discount or we simply didn’t know if they did a military discount. By including them on this list, we can definitively state whether they offer a discount. Please remember discounts for military families should never be expected but appreciated…

You Can DECIDE To Change Your Life

The Never-ending War
Every two or three years a battle happens for military families who are PCSing. That battlefield is your home, and the casualties are not only your possessions, but your sense of calm, serenity, and sense of right and wrong. I’m talking about moving. Some battles are so epic, it spawns a Facebook group with thousands of members consisting of military families that have faced moving horror stories. They turn to this group not only for retribution solutions, but also to simply share their grief, anger, and bewilderment. In my short military life, we have only “suffered” two moves; however, if there is one common discussion you will have with friends…
