I am sure every veteran knows of the many stores that offer discounts for military. Two of the most popular are Lowe’s and Home Depot. However, do you know what else Home Depot offers? I just returned from our Home Depot in Fort Myers, Florida, and I saw something I never noticed before. I parked in an open space beside what I thought was a standard handicapped space. When I came out I noticed the space was  painted purple instead of the standard red. The sign designating the space read “Reserved for Combat Wounded Veterans.” How nice! I do not know if this is nation-wide or just this particular store, but those that fit the bill should look for it. I wonder if Lowe’s will, or has, followed suit?

Comments welcome.
