Many of you may know this but I just found out.  Lowes gives a 10% discount to all Active Duty and Retired Military year round now.  It used to be only on Veterans Day and July 4th.

I went to the Lowes in Fayetteville on MLK last night for some Furnace Filters and asked if they offered a military discount, she said "we sure do, I just need to see your military ID card".  I showed her my card and that was it.
