Stokes County Thank a Vet: the Veteran Discount Card, through the Register of Deeds (Brandon S. Hooker)

The programme. The county's Thank a Vet page: "How it works: A veteran brings their Military Discharge/DD214 Form, along with a valid photo ID, to the Register of Deeds office, and records it. If the veteran already has a Military Discharge/DD214 form on file, we confirm their identity by their Driver's license, or other photo ID. Once the Military Discharge/DD214 form as been recorded, we will issue the veteran their Veteran Discount Card. Then, the veteran simply presents the card to a participating local business to receive a discount on their goods or services. There is no cost associated with this program. This program is simply a 'Thank You' to our veterans for their service and dedication to our Country. Veteran Discount Cards will be issued Monday - Friday, from 8:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m." The card's price is the recording itself, which North Carolina law makes free: "There shall be no fee charged for filing military discharge documents or for providing certified copies of military discharge documents provided to those who have a right to access" (see the State entry on free discharge recording and G.S. 47-113.2's access limits), and the card rides on it. Businesses join with the page's "Thank a Vet Business Application". The office. Brandon S. Hooker, Register of Deeds: "As your Register, I am committed to providing excellent customer service in a courteous and professional manner.
