Monday, June 14th, is the Army’s 246th Birthday, and also Flag Day! To all my fellow Army veterans, I wish you a very happy birthday. On behalf of the team at Veterans Advantage, thank you for your service to our country! And may we all proudly show our flag’s colors this weekend, too.

Here’s a helpful tip for using VetRewards: Our most popular offers these days are car rentals! In the post-COVID world, the thought of sharing a car like Uber is not as appealing as it was two years ago, so we’re all renting cars from our top partners Avis and Budget, as well as others such as Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, National & Alamo.

Check out more of these opportunities in the Travel & Lifestyle section of the Military Discounts Marketplace, and see the country you served!

At 38-years old, he’s one of the youngest coaches to reach the Super Bowl and he’s aiming to become the third-youngest to win. Born in Boston, his competitor’s territory, he hails from a military family. His father, Hugh, graduated from West Point and served in the U.S. Army from 1971 to 1977, while his grandfather served in World War II and his aunts served in Vietnam as nurses.
