Mother’s Day Exclusives & Military Holidays During COVID-19

Scott Higgins

Mother’s Day is one of the top restaurant days of the year. We share a great meal, shower gifts upon the moms in our life, and we create memories that last a lifetime. However, in the face of COVID-19, millions of moms across the world are spending time alone. Thankfully, Veterans Advantage has wonderful offerings from the 1800Flowers.com family of brands, and other retail brands, that enable you to touch the hearts of mom from a distance. 

Mother’s Day is less than 2 weeks away, so order now so your gifts will arrive in time. We featured a few of these shopping opportunities in today’s newsletter, and you can visit our Everyday Shopping, and our Dining & Entertainment areas of the Military Discounts Marketplace to learn more.

May, National Military Appreciation Month, is only 4 days away! This is usually when we kick off special days to recognize those who served and their families. The Friday before Mother’s Day (May 8) is Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and the month ends with Memorial Day. And while the public recognitions of these days will be muted in the face of social distancing, their importance is greater than ever with many in our military now serving on the front lines in the battle against the coronavirus

While the golden rule of travel is usually "book early," we know that military & veteran life doesn't always adhere to a strict schedule. If you are just now finalizing your plans for Hanukkah, Christmas, or New Year's, don't panic. Preparation is still the key to a stress-free vacation, and even at this late stage, knowing where to look can lead to significant savings.
Scott Higgins Discounts & Benefits Connecting When It Matters Most: Your Two Weeks to Make Memories As the calendar flips closer to the end of the year, we enter what I always consider the most critical two weeks for connection. This run-up to the holidays — from mid-December right through Christmas and New Year’s — is when the impulse to connect with friends, family, and loved ones becomes a necessity. For the military community, whose lives are defined by separation, these are the moments you simply can't miss.
