Encourages businesses to offer military discounts for the 250th anniversary.

This resolution would encourage businesses across the U.S. to voluntarily offer military appreciation discounts. These discounts would be for service members, veterans, and their families during the nation's 250th anniversary in 2026. This aims to show appreciation and provide everyday financial support.

What Would Change

Today, businesses may or may not offer military discounts, and there is no specific nationwide encouragement from Congress tied to the 250th anniversary of the United States. If this resolution passes, the House of Representatives would formally encourage businesses to voluntarily offer military appreciation discounts to service members and veterans during the 250th anniversary in 2026.
