A veterans discount
The 22% for Veterans
Agreed for veterans in Puerto Rico. Being worked on here, business by business.
He got it done on the island, and he is not finished. This page says plainly what the 22% is, what he did to get it, why it matters, and how a veteran claims it.

What it is
A 22% discount for veterans. He worked to get it, and in Puerto Rico he was able to make it happen.
- He worked to get a 22% discount for veterans, and in Puerto Rico he was able to make it happen.
- He is now working to do the same thing here.
- It is a discount on what a veteran pays for services and products — 22% off, the way it was agreed there.
What he did in Puerto Rico
- In Puerto Rico he got the 22% agreed locally, and he travelled to the Capitol and spoke about it on behalf of veterans.
- That is what he did: he made the case, in his own words, to the people in a position to say yes.
- He is not a legislator and this page is not a law. It is a discount, agreed business by business, and that is how he is going about it here.
He went to the Capitol to speak for veterans about it. That is the whole of what this page claims he did there — no law was passed by him, and no vote was won by him.
Why it matters
A veteran should not have to pay more than everybody else for something he came home needing.
That is his view, said in his own terms, and it is not a claim of fact about anyone.
- A veteran came home needing something, and he should not have to pay more than everybody else for it.
- Twenty-two percent is not charity. It is a way of saying that the people who served are not an afterthought at the counter.
- And it is a number a veteran can remember, which matters. A discount nobody knows about is a discount nobody uses.
Where it applies so far
Participating businesses
This list is being put together. Each business will be named here as it confirms, so nothing on this page is out of date the week after it is written.
No business is named here yet, and none is implied. If you are a business and you want to offer it, write to us and we will tell you honestly what it involves.
How to claim it
- When you go in, ask the business about the veterans discount. It is worth asking even where it is not advertised.
- Show your VA identification or your military ID. That is all a business needs to see.
- Ask what the 22% applies to before you pay, so there is no surprise at the counter.
The plain part. The discount is offered by each participating business, and it is theirs to set. Not every business offers it, nothing here guarantees that any business does, and no one can promise it on somebody else's behalf.
If a business you go into does not offer it, that is not a fault on your part and nothing here says otherwise. Tell us, and we will know where to keep asking.
