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.

Military & Veterans Life Scott's View: Honoring Our Sacred Anniversaries and the Legacy of Service As the days of August shorten and we look toward September, my thoughts always turn to reflection, history, and gratitude. This season is a deeply meaningful time for our country — a period marked by milestones that defined our nation's birth, secured global peace, and tested our national resolve in the modern era. Today, I want to step away from our regular platform updates to focus entirely on these critical anniversaries, honoring the generations of patriots who have kept us free.
