I am preparing to start a Military Boycott of Home Depot. This week, HD stopped offering the 10% military discount….UNLESS…. you get registered first! I went to my local store to complain, and the problem was too many people claiming the military discount. HELLO– we are a military town with five active military installations! So instead of enforcing pricing at the register (No ID, No Discount) they make DOD members go get registered first. There were many ways around this to make it a positive event, but instead they made it a punitive process.The Asst. Manager that tried to assit me, didn’t even know which screen to use, the registration process is flawed as it doesn’t have an indefinite expiration date; and it requires an address. Many junior members of our military will not take the extra time to do this, besides the point that their address changes many times in one year. So the members that need this discount the most will not take the steps to register. Let’s see how genuine Home Depot is and see if they will change this policy. Lowe’s gives a 10% military discount just by showing a Military ID.

Notice in the Colorado Story the lawn mower was mostly funded by vendor support. Not Home Depot. Give credit to the vendors don’t take credit for it yourselves. Typical

My name is Jessica, and I am store 424. I wanted to give Kudos to all the above mentioned stores but I also wanted to say thank you to our Tool Rental Department for really going the extra mile to make those plaques. Many of our associates were in the military and our managers really try to go out of their way for our veterans. I am really happy to work for a company that shares my values.

Coming from a military family it touches my heart and makes me proud to work for a company that does so much for active, reserve and retired military service men and women.

All the stores that give honor to our Veterans in these hard times are really giving there heart felt efforts and really need to be acknowledgeg. I just saw my soon to be 22 year old grandson leave on Saturday to return to Iraq and when I heard that 4 soldiers got killed today my heart sank to find out that 3 were killed in North Iraq where he is. We must keep all of our veterans and their families in prayer all the time.

I would like to share a story both sad and good. My husband died exactly one year ago of metastisized lung cancer at age 81. I saw a sign in the hospital free cancer screening for people over 60 that smoked. I went for the test and got diagnosed with breast cancer. I am know going for chemo. I shared my story with 12 ladies from my do it herself workshop and 2 went for the test and were diagnosed with breast cancer. I want to thank my store manager and all of the employees of Home Depot for their awsome support to help me thru my crisis. I am with the company 14 years and I have probably raised more money for the employees in this store. I won the giving back award in 2000 and had brain surgery a year later. Giving back pays off as now I am a receiver of all the good that is out there. Thankyou Lou Gaglio and all of the employees of Home Depot

Thank you so much for helping! Our military men and women often come home unable to get back to a normal life because of injuries sustained and I love to see it when they get blessed!
