Scott's View: Rent A Car with Veterans Advantage; Celebrating the Army Birthday and Flag Day

Monday, June 14th, is the Army’s 246th Birthday, and also Flag Day! To all my fellow Army veterans, I wish you a very happy birthday. On behalf of the team at Veterans Advantage, thank you for your service to our country! And may we all proudly show our flag’s colors this weekend, too.

Here’s a helpful tip for using VetRewards: Our most popular offers these days are car rentals! In the post-COVID world, the thought of sharing a car like Uber is not as appealing as it was two years ago, so we’re all renting cars from our top partners Avis and Budget, as well as others such as Enterprise, Hertz, Dollar, Thrifty, National & Alamo.

Check out more of these opportunities in the Travel & Lifestyle section of the Military Discounts Marketplace, and see the country you served!

Cover Story: With the Death of John Kinsel Sr., Only Two Navajo Code Talkers of World War II Are Still Alive

 John Kinsel Sr., one of last remaining Navajo Code Talkers from World War II, passed away peacefully on October 19, 2024 at the age of 107. His life embodied the importance of the Navajo Code Talkers in U.S. military history. They transmitted messages during World War II based on the tribe's native Diné bizaad language in a code that Japanese cryptologists were unable to break.

Cover Story: Heroes Meet Heroes 2024

 On November 7, WeSalute held its fifth streaming of the “Heroes Meet Heroes” event, where military heroes meet Olympic heroes. Moderated by WeSalute co-founder and Chairman Scott Higgins, the annual conversation was started 12 years ago by WeSalute CEO Lin Higgins. It celebrates both the military and sports successes and similarities across two panel discussions. This year’s session was dedicated to Captain Paul “Bud” Bucha, a Medal of Honor recipient and longtime member of the WeSalute Advisory Board who passed away this year at the age of 80.
