Video highlight of the week: In this week’s inspirational video, Beauty, the Bald Eagle, overcomes her disabilities through the assistance of technology – much like many of our wounded warriors. See the video at: http://vimeo.com/15184546
This week, Military.com highlighted a service that allows you to sign up for military discount information on purchases of a variety of sporting, outdoor recreation and tactical products at: https://www.govx.com/milcom/ and don’t forget that there are also discounts on entertainment, state/national park entrance fees, vehicles, and financial products from a variety of merchants. Do your research in advance to know the best deals. For example, www.USAA.com offers insurance and banking services, exclusively to eligible military-connected families, and has blogs on topics such as financial advice, retirement planning, insurance needs. Remember to always protect your personal info and double-check any deals that seem too good to be true or require payment for discount coupons (many are scams.)
