Let’s face it, in this economy, Americans could use all the help we can get. Through a special expansion of benefits from long-time partner John Hancock, Veterans Advantage members now qualify for a complimentary financial analysis report to get you on a firmer financial footing for the future.

Members get to call a special toll-free number only for Veterans Advantage to assess their situation personally with a John Hancock Financial Network advisor, and receive a customized report. This special service is valued to be at least $500 for the general public, but comes at no extra charge for all active members of Veterans Advantage.

We wanted to let you know about an important new partnership, 15% everyday savings from Red Roof Inn. Red Roof Inn opened its first Inn in 1973 in Columbus, Ohio with the philosophy of providing guests a comfortable room at an affordable price. Today, operating with the same philosophy, there are 345 Inns in 36 states and in the District of Columbia. We’re pleased the company has provided us with its best discount available.

And for members trying to cut costs further on vacation travel – pets can come to Red Roof for free! I love it because my daughter recently persuaded me to adopt a Golden Retriever puppy, which helps save on dog sitters or overnight kennel stays. So, on your next stay, try a Red Roof Inn. Click here to learn more about how you can get Red Roof discounts today.

Hope you enjoy this week’s Veterans Advantage news package. So many of our members remember July 1969 as a magical time for our nation as The Apollo 11 astronauts – and military Veterans – set camp at the moon’s Sea of Tranquility for two and a half hours. Hat’s off to Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin and Michael Collins. We thank them for their service to our country.

And a special salute to John Rowan, our HeroVet and the President of Vietnam Veterans of America (VVA), as he and his first-rate staff work tirelessly to improve the quality of life and health of our Veterans.

We just sent a members-only newsletter highlighting special discounts from Dell that you can’t find anywhere else, and we’re proud of the work we’ve done with Dell to customize these offers.

Since 2002, Dell and Veterans Advantage have partnered on special military and veteran computer discounts for those who serve and their families. We started with Dell’s selection of award-winning products and combined it with specialized customer service from Dell. And since, we’ve broadened our offerings to include software and peripherals, digital cameras, video games and even GPS systems.

We want to salute Dell for combining generally advertised discounts with our standard 10% everyday savings discount, as part of its commitment to always have a better price that what you could find on the public dell.com. Veterans Advantage members can shop our special Dell online store anytime and get their special savings immediately.

In travel, and the hotly competitive airline space, we are proud that our exclusive Veterans Advantage discount partnership with Continental Airlines carries a best-price guarantee offer as well, as well as combines frequent traveler points with our special Veterans Advantage discount. On the high seas, Norwegian Cruise Lines combines our discounts with their generally advertised specials. And finally, our full service phone and web-based travel agency, Veterans Advantage Travel, has a similar offer for our members.

The news out of Iraq this week that we are starting to return control to local authorities is promising that someday soon we can dedicate more time in this space to celebrate those coming back to be re-united with their families than those facing separation.

This weekend, as we celebrate our nation’s 233rd birthday, we at Veterans Advantage kick off a special month to honor family members of those who have served our country. We believe that when one member of the family serves, the whole family serves and sacrifices.

In our editorial package this week, we profile superstar Shaquille O’Neal. Shaq grew up in a military family and received life-changing direction and important values from his Army dad. Our roundup highlights other VetFamily who have achieved great success, from business to the arts to sports: Mark Teixeira, Reese Witherspoon, Harris Faulkner, Julia Stewart, and Will Smith.
