Schoharie County Clerk: DD-214 Filing and the “Return The Favor” Veterans Discount Card

The programme. "The Office of the County Clerk created the Schoharie County Veterans' Discount Program (also known as 'Return The Favor'), with the help of the Schoharie County Veterans' Office and the Schoharie County Chamber of Commerce." "The program is intended to encourage our Veterans to file their DD-214 in the County Clerk's Office and, under this exciting program, honorably discharged Veterans will receive a photo ID card from the County Clerk's Office. Veterans may then use this card to receive discounts from participating area merchants for services, merchandise, and other benefits." Who and what to bring.
