Discounts and privileges for all serving and veteran Soldiers, Sailors and Airmen written into law. SUPPORT YOUR TROOPS
Our Armed Forces personnel serve this country in a hugely proffessional and courageous way. Yet there is little done to give anything back to them when at home with their families. This is a small ask that all areas of retail are enforced to have an MOD discount of at least 10%. All serving members of the armed forces carry an MOD card which can be used as evidence of service. However, a veterans card should be introduced for all ex-service personnel.
The USA is very good at this compared to the UK. If a student gets a discount (which they do in so many places) the MOD should definitely get one. A small ask that will give back to the military community in a huge way.
Thank you for your support.
