Erie County Clerk Mickey Kearns is inviting Erie County veterans to his next "Thank-A-Vet" discount program. The outreach will be held from 1-3 p.m. Monday at the Leonard Post, 2450 Walden Ave., Cheektowaga.
To sign up, a veteran must bring the original copy of their military discharge papers, to put on file with the clerk's office. Discharge papers will be immediately returned to the veteran.
Erie County veterans are welcome to come learn more about this program and the businesses that offer discounts with a complementary photo ID "Thank-A-Vet" card. Staff from the county clerk's office will be on hand to process veterans' information for a card. Cards will be mailed to outreach attendees.
