GOODLETTSVILLE, Tenn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
This Veterans’ Day, Dollar General will offer active duty service
members, veterans and their family members a special 11 percent discount

“Dollar General is honored to recognize Veterans’ Day by giving back to
those who have served and continue to serve our country,” said Dave
D’Arezzo, Dollar General’s executive vice president and chief

we are committed to helping service men and women stretch their budgets
