Not a day goes by that we don’t see news headlines talking about soaring prices. You’ve probably seen it in your food shopping, energy bills, and shopping for everyday items to keep your home stocked. Veterans Advantage is here to help - as we always say, You Protect Our Country. We Protect Your Wallet!^®

Be sure to check out Everyday Shopping, Home & Office, and Dining & Entertainment in our Military Discounts Marketplace.

Finally, a word on today's HeroVet profile of the late Colin Powell. While our editorial award profiles rarely recognize great leaders posthumously, we recognize and honor today the extraordinary life of an American hero who placed service before self. Our condolences to his family and may he rest in peace.
