WeSalute looks forward to this time of year so we can highlight the benefits of our program for the youth of America. For instance, Harry & David offers exclusive savings of 25% on care packages to send to loved ones each year. Greyhound Bus, an exclusive partner for 20 years, offers 10% savings each time one of our members boards a bus nationwide. That’s perfect for school commutes!

Finally, with all the tech companies we have in the program - from Apple, Dell, Lenovo, Samsung, and wireless carriers Verizon and AT&T - there’s lots of ways for kids and young adults to connect and get their school work done. Learn more in the WeSalute Marketplace.

And enjoy the rest of the summer!

Military & Veterans Life Scott's View: Honoring Our Sacred Anniversaries and the Legacy of Service As the days of August shorten and we look toward September, my thoughts always turn to reflection, history, and gratitude. This season is a deeply meaningful time for our country — a period marked by milestones that defined our nation's birth, secured global peace, and tested our national resolve in the modern era. Today, I want to step away from our regular platform updates to focus entirely on these critical anniversaries, honoring the generations of patriots who have kept us free.
