[HCARC] Check out Congress OKs new ID cards for all veterans

[John Canfield]

That link worked - thanks!

I think it's a good idea.  Who wants to carry around a DD-214 (if you 
don't have a VA medical card); many businesses provide a discount for 
veterans, it's really handy to just whip out my card.

(Ive learned to be bold about asking if a business gives a veteran's 
discount - two off the top of my head are Lowe's and Advance Auto. 
Kerrville Home Depot at one time said they only give discounts to 
service connected disabled vets, then a few months later I tried again 
and they gave me the discount.)
