Thank you all for the kind words. It is nice that the State has recognized veterans in this case. I can't speak for all veterans but for me it is not so much about the discounted price but more about being recognized for a contribution. Thanks again!

Thank you Melissa! Am sure you will be woo hoo'ing for yourself before you know it!
