If you are in the New York City area today, the New York Times Travel Show continues at NYC's Jacob K. Javits Center through 5pm today. With the help of headquarters staff and Veterans Advantage members, thousands of travelers are passing through our booth 948, and many of them have served our country, or are related to one who has served. They are getting to learn about our broad range of military travel discount offerings and Exclusive Benefits Plan.

Veterans Advantage Advisory Board member and Medal of Honor Recipient Paul W. Bucha joined me to welcome attendees yesterday. He and I have special remarks scheduled again today at 2:45 pm, and we will once again have a special giveaway of great prizes from our benefit partners. Just stop by our booth ahead of time for details.

Discounts & Benefits Strategic Mobility: Maximizing the "ROI" of Your Service In today’s highly mobile society, your service should translate into a tangible "affordability superpower." At WeSalute, we focus on high-impact areas where members see a massive return on investment, specifically through strategic travel and relocation services. Our mission as a Public Benefit Corporation is to negotiate private, high-value deals — like those with Delta Vacations and Montway Auto Transport — that “free” sites simply cannot access.
