Shame on stores that turn down vet card

Shame on stores that turn down vet card

DEAR EDITOR:

The new Trumbull County veterans ID card is not recognized at the major home improvement stores. The daytime manager at one store told me to come back on Veterans Day for my 10 percent discount.

It is shameful that they advertise their support for veterans then deny the discount that is offered. I am a former U.S. Marine Corps sergeant E5, and was embarrassed at the manager’s treatment toward me.

The cashier at the other store simply denied the new card as valid proof that I was a veteran.
