What are the requirements?
It is important to remember that most companies require proof of military service. The VA Photo Benefits Card is a reliable option for veterans receiving health benefits from the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA). If you don’t have a VA benefits card, the VA can issue you a veteran’s card, which is widely accepted as proof of service. In some states, veteran status is included on state ID cards and driver’s licenses and provides an additional ID card option. And as a last resort, most companies will accept a copy of your DD-214 as proof of performance.
However, it’s wise to check with individual businesses to see if they participate in Veterans Day programs, as not all franchise locations participate in their national chain’s initiatives.
