“We are delighted that CVS has significantly expanded their discount benefit with us as a way to thank service members, Veterans and their families,” said Scott Higgins, Co-Founder & CEO of Veterans Advantage and a Vietnam War Veteran. “Leading companies like CVS should be heralded for their steadfast commitment to making the lives of those who sacrifice, and put themselves in harm’s way to protect our country, a little bit happier and easier with a financial break on their everyday purchases. On behalf of our Veterans, military personnel, and their families everywhere, we thank CVS for making this possible.”
