Military Discounts Blog Serves as Valuable Resource for Soldiers in Fayetteville, NC This Holiday Season

Army’s Army Launches One-Stop Shop for Military and Their Families Fayetteville, NC – December 8, 2011 – Military families face a series of unique challenges when moving to a new area. Times are especially tough for them this holiday season given the current state of the economy. That's why Fayetteville/Cumberland County, North Carolina, has created an online relocation resource specifically with them in mind: the Military Discounts blog features an up-to-date list of discounts at Fayetteville-area businesses, national companies and online retailers for soldiers, veterans and their families. Visit the blog at www.FayettevilleMilitaryDiscounts.com.

The Military Discounts blog highlights discounts in a variety of categories, including amusements, art, dining, golf, lodging, services, shopping and sports. Participating businesses range from small, local mom-and-pop businesses to select locations of major national retailers. It is currently made up of more than 300 participating businesses. The Military Discounts blog is a joint effort between the Fayetteville Area Convention & Visitors Bureau and the Army’s Army, the world's only volunteer organization of businesses and individuals who have pledged their moral, physical and spiritual support to those in the military by “watching over those who watch over us.”

“The Military Discounts blog is one of the many ways we help make soldiers, veterans and their families feel welcome, safe and appreciated in Fayetteville/Cumberland County,” said Janine West, Executive Director of the Army’s Army. “Especially now that times are so tough, we wanted to make sure those who serve and have served our country in the military can easily find all of the discounts that are available to them.” The blog highlights a different discount each month. This month’s feature is a 10 percent discount on all parts, services and accessories to all active duty military at Hendrick Chrysler Jeep. Hendrick Chrysler Jeep has been a proud Army’s Army partner for almost two years. It is located at 543 North McPherson Church Road in Fayetteville. Other featured discounts this month include PWC, Systel Business Equipment and International Minute Press.

The Army's Army, which was established in 2008, created FayettevilleWantsYou.com to make the transition to the area smoother for military families. The interactive website connects relocating families directly to local residents and Army's Army members, while also providing area information like healthcare, education, employment and housing. It serves as a welcome wagon and information resource for relocating families. The Military Discounts blog is housed within this site.
