Tennessee Businesses Giving Back to Veterans
The Veteran’s Appreciation Program
Your Guide to Veteran Discounts in Tennessee
The Veteran’s Appreciation Program is a growing directory of businesses across Tennessee that provide discounts and special offers to military veterans.
Our Mission Statement
The Veterans’ Appreciation Program of Tennessee is a for profit business born on Veterans Day 2015 by a disabled Veteran from the Vietnam era. The organization aspires to enlist and promote concerned businesses committed to providing discounts on products or services to Veterans and the Military that have given so much to us.
Our Veterans and Military will benefit because of your gratitude and appreciation as a contributor in thanking them for their service. In addition to helping them you will be supporting your own business in as much we will make Veterans and Military organizations aware of your discount and post your business on our website so that other Veterans/Military will know and can visit your business.
Further we will provide a decal to post on your door or window of your business identifying you as a member of the Veterans Appreciation Program.
We donate to Veterans organizations such as The Ben Atchley State Veterans Home. In addition, we try to provide a bridge to Veterans to fulfill their needs by assisting in being a source of information for Veterans services and providing help, especially to rural placed Veterans, that may have been ignored, forgotten or have given up looking for help out of frustration.

Letter from wife of Disabled Veteran:
Dear Mr. Larry Sharp,
I would like to extend my appreciation for your help in obtaining the hospital bed for my disabled veteran husband. Without your help I don’t know how I would have gotten this done. It has helped me tremendously as I am unable to lift my husband and he is at a great risk for falls. The bed has rails to prevent this, unlike his regular bed. It also helps him to sit in different positions and remain comfortable without my lifting him. Your endeavor to assist veterans is highly commendable. I am very grateful for your willingness to assist me in such a special way and it is very much appreciated.
Any veteran reading this should contact Mr. Sharp at [email protected]. He will do everything in his power to help you. I can personally attest to this.
Sincerely, Mary Eubanks
