Michael, I ran into the same problem as you, too much income when I only wanted the card to get discounts, not medical attention. I have been carrying around a reduced copy of my honorable discharge and showing that with my drivers license to get my discounts but sometimes have problems. They all want you to have the card. I was wondering what website you were referring to, I would gladly pay the $13 to get the card, it would be so much easier. Thank you in advance for any help you can give me.
Jim - The veterans identification card Jerry & I referred to in the previous 2 postings was linked (click on website) on our posts. I have put a link to it again with this email also. Hope this answers your question and gets you to the veterans identification card info. we were describing.
WhaT everyone iE calling a Veterans ID is in fact a VA health care card if you will. When you register at a VA hospital to receive care you are assigned a priority based on a bunch of factors one of which is income. Depending on the priority you are assigned you can get care and a ID.
Happy Thanksgiving ALL

Here in Spokane I have no problem getting my discount at Lowes using my "Department of Veterans Affairs" card (with picture). Home Depot is another matter. They will only accept a picture ID stating you are "Active", "Retired", or "Disabled". They will no longer accept a DD214. If you spent 3 years-19 years and did not "retire" or you aren't "Disabled" they act as if you never served at all.
NAPA and most other places automatically give me a discount when I wear my NAVY ball cap.
That Veteranprograms.com site is totally unofficial. I wouldn't provide that much personally identifiable information to a private party for a cracker jack toy. That just reeks of some gimmick card that anyone can get for $13.
