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.

Lowes, Home Depot or any company has the right to grant PRIVLAGES to anyone they wish. They get to establish the rules that these PRIVLAGES will be granted.
Just like some companies say a senior discount starts at age (50). Others at age (55). Some business offer discounts to women only on Wednesdays. If you owned a business you might offer different discounts. People under a senior discount age limit do not complain, so you need to move on.
IF you have a complaint with the VA and their procedures and policies then contact your government rep and and ask for a change to the policy.
Also,
IF you do not agree with someones policies, Do not shop there! MOVE ON!
