Scott's View

This week we highlight some of our most popular benefits, including four that offer new, expanded benefits in addition to your everyday discount. Check out the deals from CVS/pharmacy, Verizon Wireless, JetBlue, and Red Roof Inn.

Check out the Military Discounts Marketplace for more special bonus benefits, including financial planning services, prescription drug discounts, identity theft restoration services, and Veterans Advantage Travel, our special low-cost hotel booking site and hotline.

It has been a busy holiday season for us in Veterans Advantage. Our Board member and Medal of Honor Recipient, Paul W. “Bud” Bucha, delivered remarks and was honored at the Army Reserve’s 411th Civil Affairs Battalion Holiday Dining Out event, as the guest of Major Tom Saadi, Connecticut’s Commissioner of Veterans Affairs.

The Battalion’s nickname is the “Mad Hatters” and they honored Bud with one of their signature hats -- the event was a “blast”, according to Tom and Bud! The new governor-elect of Connecticut will be re-nominating Major Saadi for another term as Commissioner of Veterans Affairs.

Though their actions took place more than seven decades apart — one in the freezing skies over the Sea of Japan and the other in a daring modern-day raid in Caracas — they are bound by an unbroken thread of valor that transcends generations.
