Discounts at restaurants, hotels, auto shops, barbers and salons and professional and retail services go to "Warren County Veterans upon presentation of the program's identification card"; "The photo identification card issued by the Warren County Clerk contains valid service information and is being provided at no fee to the Veteran."
Who. "Veterans must be residents or property owners in Warren County; Must be honorably discharged; Must present their Military Discharge DD 214 or equivalent Certificate of Honorable Discharge or have the discharge recorded in the County Clerk's Office for verification; Must complete a program application form."
