Benefits Update: How to Keep Father’s Day Meaningful During COVID-19

Lin & Scott Higgins

There’s so much going on in our world these days as the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact our daily lives and racial tensions challenge our communities. We hope you and your loved ones continue to keep safe during these uncertain times.

Despite our challenges as a country, Father’s Day is quickly approaching. I hope you’ll take the time to keep Father’s Day meaningful and honor the special dad in your life.

For many of us, this Father’s Day will be an especially emotionally challenging one. It's hard for so many families, like mine, who will not be able to spend Father’s Day celebrating together because we can’t travel or are otherwise separated with COVID-19 mandatory quarantines.

Whatever your situation, we want you to know we stand with you at Veterans Advantage and are here to help you save. And, it’s important to send something to that special dad in your life that will arrive in time for Sunday, June 21. It’s less than 2 weeks away, so we want to remind you to order your gifts today for shipping so you’ll get on-time arrival by Father’s Day.

You can shop for great gifts that are sure to delight dad and get exclusive savings with 50% OFF VetRewards. Here are some of our Veterans Advantage team’s favorites for Father’s Day gifts:

OUTDOOR & ATHLETIC GEAR GIFT IDEAS:

If your dad loves the outdoors, especially fishing and hunting, check out all the top quality gear, luggage, and clothing from Orvis that he is sure to love. With our private Orvis online store exclusively for VetRewards, you easily shop and save 10% on your gifts and get free shipping--automatically applied in your Orvis Shopping Basket during checkout.

For the dad who loves camping, hiking and climbing, and other outdoor summer activities, check out your 10% OFF VetRewards savings with Eastern Mountain Sports on all full-price items. You can get gifts of men’s socks, jackets, running shoes, hiking boots, shorts, backpacks plus a broad assortment of camping gear, tents, packs, gadgets, and more, to make the campsite comfortable. You can shop for the hottest new athletic wear, from hoodies to tanks to jackets, to joggers to base-layers, that’ll have the power to completely transform dad’s workout wardrobe.

GREAT ELECTRONICS & SMARTPHONE IDEAS:

For the techie dad or to upgrade dad’s home office, check out amazing savings with up to 53% OFF on Lenovo’s award-winning technologies and up to 40% OFF Samsung computers, watches & mobile devices.

Perhaps you have traditionally made your dad a big breakfast on Father’s Day? Another fine food gift is to send dad some breakfast treats with English muffins and gourmet brunch gifts from Wolferman's with an exclusive 30% OFF.  You can order online for delivery across town to almost anywhere in the world, in over 195 countries.

GIFT IDEAS THAT SUPPORT A CAUSE:

Your Father’s Day shopping with Military Mascots in our Military Community Deals will also help support wounded vets. Your dad is sure to love a Military Mascot stuffed animal that showcases his military branch of service from our exclusive online discount store for Veterans Advantage. 100% of your Military Mascot purchase will be used to support the U.S. Veterans Chamber of Commerce activities for Warrior Care and our Veterans Advantage Gift of VetRewards program for wounded veterans and their caregivers.

Cover Story: “Black Hawk Down” Comes Back into Perspective Over 30 Years Later

In the storied annals of military history, there are tales that transcend time, serving as reminders of the indomitable spirit and unwavering courage of those who wear the uniform. One such narrative unfolded in the streets of Mogadishu, Somalia, where Retired U.S. Army Maj. Larry Moores etched his name into the annals of valor, culminating in a long-overdue recognition with the Silver Star Medal.

Cover Story: How & Why WeSalute Was Founded 25 Years Ago

WeSalute founders Scott and Lin Higgins have spent a lifetime in the military community, from Scott’s combat service in Vietnam and the service of Lin’s father in WWII, to serving families and veterans through the creation of memorials and parades as part of charitable and government initiatives. It was this lifetime of service that led them to establish WeSalute, originally founded as Veterans Advantage, and to continue giving back.
