HARRISBURG, Pa., Nov. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- AARP is saying thank you to the countless veterans and military men and women who have done so much to serve and protect through a special promotion in honor of Veterans Day. Through November 16th, AARP will offer a discounted membership rate up to 20% off for veterans, their families and anyone interested in joining or renewing. A portion of the member dues will be used to help support various Veteran's organizations in local communities across the country that provide vital support services to courageous American heroes.

"We commend the millions of veterans that have bravely served and sacrificed for our country," said Bill Johnston-Walsh, AARP Pennsylvania State Director. "We also recognize the unsung heroes who are often overlooked, the families and caregivers of our veterans, many of whom have made immeasurable sacrifices to care for their loved ones as they return from service."

Individuals who sign up through the Thank a Vet campaign will also have the opportunity to write a personal thank you note to be shared with veterans throughout the country. This is an additional way for AARP members to share their support and appreciation for the brave men and women who have served their country.
