U.S. veterans, active service members and spouses who pre-register for the benefit via The Home Depot app will receive a 10 percent discount on their purchases in stores and online. Registering through the customer app not only expands the discount to online purchases beyond the stores’ aisles, but also makes it faster and easier for customers to check out when utilizing the discount benefit.

“We’re proud to expand this Military Discount Benefit for families who have sacrificed so much for our country,” said Ted Decker, president and COO of The Home Depot. “From our product discount to The Home Depot Foundation’s commitment to veteran causes, our dedication to our servicemen and women has never been stronger.”

This new Military Discount Benefit is just one way The Home Depot supports the military. Since 2011, The Home Depot Foundation has invested more than $400 million in veteran causes and improved more than 50,000 veteran homes and facilities. The Foundation has pledged to invest half of a billion dollars in veteran causes by 2025.

This year, the Foundation recognized 10 years of partnership and impact on veteran issues with organizations like Habitat for Humanity, Volunteers of America, Operation Homefront, Semper Fi & America’s Fund and U.S.VETS, among others.

With more than 35,000 associates who are veterans and military spouses, The Home Depot’s support for the military also extends to its workforce. This year, the company was recognized as a 2022 Military Friendly® company for the nineteenth year in a row.

The post THE HOME DEPOT EXPANDS EVERYDAY MILITARY DISCOUNT BENEFIT FOR ALL VETERANS appeared first on The Hemet & San Jacinto Chronicle.

The 10 military veterans built custom guitars based on their own designs and themes Friday through Sunday under a tent on the campus.

The build was part of Hemet-based nonprofit American Patriot Music Project’s Veterans Guitar Project. For several years, the group has used the program to provide therapeutic support and music opportunities for veterans and first responders. They hold about two guitar workshops each year.

The three-day build trained the MSJC faculty and classified professionals so they can lead additional builds with student-veterans at MSJC. The college features Veterans Resource Centers that help support the college’s military and veteran students and their families.

“We hope to create Veterans Guitar Workshops at any college that has a Veterans Resource Center,” said Tony Villegas, the executive director of the American Patriot Music Project, which also features the Temecula area-based American Patriot Band.

The group partners with the National Science Foundation STEM Guitar Building Project.
