Default Re: Military Exchanges

I have been a proponent of allowing any honorably discharged veteran with a compensated disability, to use the commissary and exchange service.

Most recently HR 1292, and similar bills in the past, have been introduced. The bills continue to get sent to sub-committees and get burried.

Online shopping at the Exchange will not be a "money saver" for veterans. You do not have to pay sales tax, however. Shopping at a Commissary would save veterans money. Commisaries work on a 5% gross profit margin and suppliers are required to sell to the commisaries at a price that is equal to the lowest price in the market.
