Scott's View: Our National Guard's Birthday & the Latest Holiday Exclusives

December 14, 2020

Scott's View

First off, a big shout out and a Happy Birthday to the U.S. Army National Guard. Our "citizen soldiers" are 384 years old this week! Organized on December 13th, 1636, they met for their first drill three months later, on the village green in Salem, Massachusetts.

Each year, shoppers are warned to finish their holiday shopping early, so gifts arrive by Christmas. With the surge in online shopping this year, there are major shipping delays. So, if you want your gifts to arrive by December 25, you’ve got to act now.

Be sure to check out your shopping exclusives in the Everyday Shopping category of the Military Discounts Marketplace. Our latest exclusives include Personalization Mall, Acer, Motel 6, Helix Sleep and Birch Living mattresses, Allform Furniture, and The New York Times digital subscriptions.

Stay safe and healthy!
