Your Veterans Advantage benefits package just got bigger!

As of Jan.15, your Amtrak 15% discount now includes same day travel and is extended to family members with a VetRewards Card. With ski season underway, you can get away for a long weekend with your family and save on everyone's travel. Business travelers also have a reason to pick up and grab a train for that next meeting, without the need to reserve 3 days in advance to get the discount, as was previously the case.

If you prefer to stay home and not brave the cold, we have big news: Get Verizon Fios for your home, Internet, TV and phone needs with savings of up to $120 a year! The news today helps us round out a comprehensive package of services with the telecommunications giant. For nearly three-and-a-half years, VetRewards Card holders like you have been getting 15% OFF wireless plans and 25% OFF accessories. With today's announcement, we now have you covered at home - with big savings.

Scott’s View: Paul “Bud” Bucha: An American Original

They say the best friendships are the ones that remain unchanged no matter how many years pass. I can truly say that about Paul W. “Bud” Bucha. A Medal of Honor recipient for valor he demonstrated in 1968, he assisted in the founding of WeSalute, when it was known as Veterans Advantage, 20 years ago.

He was an Army brat, a competitive swimmer, a graduate of both West Point and Stanford, an infantry captain. He arrived in Vietnam in November 1967 commanding D Company -- the “Clerks and Jerks,” they were called -- the last company formed when the 3rd Battalion, 3rd Brigade of the 101st Airborne Division adopted a four-rifle company configuration.
