Hey Bruce,
That is great news for me and spouse. I tried to register today but the Vet Verify site couldn’t find me in the system. When I was on active duty we had a Service Number.we didn’t use the SSN. But I have my original DD214 and my official Honorable Discharge (suitable for framing) papers. It is crazy, since I purchased two different homes with my VA benefit. So now I am going through the inquiry process with VA. I hope this will get cleared up by November ☹. 73, Ron, K5HM <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected] <http://www.qrz.com/db/k5hm> www.qrz.com/db/k5hm Excelsior!

The law changes on November 11, 2017, Veterans Day this year allowing ANY honorable separated veteran the right to purchase from the exchange. You need to pre-register. Go to shopmyexhcnage.com. On the right near the top is a box.... Veterans Online Shopping Benefit.... Take the first step.. Click on it and it takes you to vetverify.org. That is where you register. Then on November 11, 2017, you will have access to create an account at shopmyexchange.com. I got lucky, someone was looking out for me somewhere. I registered two weeks ago and the other day, I received an email to create my exchange account and start shopping now as a Beta test for the exchange. I have been perusing the goodies and one thing I looked up for my daughter was some Whey. On Amazon, it was $58 and in the exchange it was $29. Not everything is as deeply discounted. Also, all purchases are tax free. Anything over $49 is shipped free, under $49 is a flat $4.95. And... they match prices with walmart, target, amazon. What could be better. Hope this will help some of you that are vets or have a vet in the family. It sure put a smile on my face. 73...bruce -- Bruce Paige, KK5DO AMSAT Director Contests and Awards AMSAT Board Member 2016-2018 ARRL Awards Field Checker (WAS, 5BWAS, VUCC), VE Houston AMSAT Net - Wed 0100z on Echolink - Conference *AMSAT* Also live streaming MP3 at http://www.amsatnet.com Podcast at http://www.amsatnet.com/podcast.xml or iTunes Latest satellite news on the ARRL Audio News http://www.arrl.org AMSAT on Twitter http://www.twitter.com/amsat
