They will not accept a DD-214 as proof of service. They say that they only accept a Department of Veterans Affairs health ID card.
If you are a veteran, you cannot get a VA ID card if you don't have some service related disability or if you have too much income.
This discriminates against veterans who managed to do well enough with their lives after serving our country to have some financial security.
Any of us who served should not be discriminated against.

I am a veteran and they will not honor my DD-214.

I agree. And like the heading of your first post says - Lowe's "Veterans Discount" is misleading.
