holiday travel guide 2025 Discounts & Benefits WeSalute Review: Your 2025 Holiday Travel Guide on How to Save More and Stress Less on Your Getaway The holiday season is officially in full swing. While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.
Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits Connecting When It Matters Most: Your Two Weeks to Make Memories As the calendar flips closer to the end of the year, we enter what I always consider the most critical two weeks for connection. This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
