I was aware that businesses, especially in military towns like Jacksonville, North Carolina where Camp Lejeune Marine Base and New River Air Station are located, offered discounts to members of the military.

But, I was totally blown away by the vast number of businesses all over the country that support and honor our military by offering various types of discounts.

It seems that for any product or service one might need, there is a small business or major chain that have stepped up to the plate for the military families.

Some of the categories of the businesses that offer military discounts.

• Apparel
  
  
• Auto, Auto Repair & Service
  
  
• Travel and Leisure
  
  
• Restaurants
  
  
• Banking
  
  
• Telephone
