This is from Lowes website,
Military Discount
Lowe's established the 10% Military Discount to support the men and women who are currently serving our country in the Armed Services1 and to honor retired veterans and VA recipients.2 This 10% discount is also extended to the immediate family3 of those who are currently serving, retired veterans or VA recipients.
To qualify for the Everyday 10% Military Discount, you must:
Be currently serving in, or retired from, a qualifying branch of the Armed Services or be the immediate family member of someone who is and have a valid military ID card.
Or:
Be a veteran who receives VA benefits and have a valid Veteran Identification Card (VIC).
We honor all veterans on three specific holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veterans Day. During these three holiday weekends, we extend the discount to all veterans who served honorably and who present a valid Form DD214 or other proof of service. The Lowe’s Military Discount is extended to the veteran community on these three holidays only.
I used the veteran's discount one time at Home Depot on an item that cost $200 ($20 discount). The casher told me they do it, but you must show a copy of your DD214. I had it on both DL and CHL. She said she would accept it that day, but in the future, I had to show a copy of DD214. I haven't used the discount since, but probably will if it's a large purchase. I was very nice to her and told her I understood if she couldn't give me the discount that day, which I think changed her mind and she ended up giving it to me. In some cases I feel funny using my veteran's status to receive discounts, but I do appreciate the places that do it.
