Staples was nice last year. I was out with my wife and kids and didn't even realize it was Veterans day (because of the local attitude where we were) and when I saw a sign for a discount, I asked "Does this work for disabled veterans as well?" They smiled and said, "as long as you have an ID,... of course." I popped out my ID and they gave me a 10% discount. I didn't need one, but the gesture was nice. They were one of the only places to give me a discount while the rest required an active-duty ID.

Oh I know! I've ran into this several times myself
