December 3, 2012

Fold3

Following on last month's announcement of our new CVS/pharmacy partnership, we are pleased to announce another significant new benefit to the Veterans Advantage program: an exclusive 50% discount on Fold3 services, a division of Ancestry.com. Fold 3 delivers a premier collection of original U.S. military records, including those from the U.S. National Archives.

Named after the traditional flag folding ceremony in which the third fold is made in honor and remembrance of Veterans, Fold3 provides convenient access to US military records. It includes the stories, photos, and personal documents of the men and women who served, with military records never before available online.

In a recent Veterans Advantage online survey, nearly 75% of you had a previous generation that served in our military, including a whopping 38% beyond grandparents – that could stretch back to the Civil War! This is a great opportunity to trace your family's military history. Hope you take advantage of it. Others pay nearly $80 annually for access to this benefit. Veterans Advantage members pay ONLY $39.95 with member savings of 50%!
