In fact, Memorial Day weekend is one of those, so get your DD214 out of your safety deposit box and take it shopping with you. It may be poorly worded, but I hate to see Lowe's get a bad rap for trying to do the right thing. The policy is listed below:
Military Discount
Lowe's established the 10% Military Discount to support the men and women who are currently serving our country in the Armed Services1 and to honor Retired Veterans and VA Recipients.2 This 10% discount is also extended to the immediate family3 of those who are currently serving, Retired Veterans, or VA Recipients.
To qualify for the Everyday 10% Military Discount, you must:
Be currently serving in, or retired from, a qualifying branch of the Armed Services, or be the immediate family member of someone who is and have a valid military ID Card.
Or:
Be a veteran who receives VA benefits and have a valid Veteran Identification Card (VIC).
We honor all Veterans on three specific holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veterans Day. During these three holiday weekends, we extend the discount to all veterans who served honorably and who present a valid Form DD214 or other proof of service. The Lowe’s Military Discount is extended to the Veteran community on these three holidays only.

This posting spells Lowes 10% " Military " and the " Veterans " Discount policy absolutely Crystal Clear.
To the poster who states Lowes veterans discount policy is " Misleading " you are dead wrong on your accusation.
Actually Home Depot has the exact same policy.
