Those who've served in the military are about to receive a hearty "thank you" from the Rockwall community, as local merchants gear up to show appreciation in the most pragmatic of ways: discounts. Unveiled by Rockwall County, the Thank A Veteran program is the latest initiative aimed at giving back to the brave men and women who have donned the uniform and devoted years of their lives to the service of the country.
Whether veterans served in the Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, or the Coast Guard, this program doesn't discriminate, opening its arms to all branches with deals that might be just the token of gratitude those who've served are looking for, not that a discount could ever truly tally up the debt owed them, but it's a start. Local businesses who wish to participate in this program can sign up to offer these discounts and, in doing so, not only do they contribute to the collective tribute to veterans, but they also gain some goodwill and maybe even a loyal following from within the veteran community.
These discounts aren't just a pat on the back but could add up to substantial savings for veterans and their families, savings that veterans have more than earned through their commitment and sacrifice.
