You my friend are a cynic! Of course it's basic marketing but Lowe's is one of the few that honors vets in this manner consistently. They don't have to do this to get my business but it definitely makes me a more loyal customer.
Of course, speaking of basic economics, why would I buy a 10 foot length of schedule 40 1" PVC from HD, currently priced online at 4.16 when I can get it at Lowe's, also online for 3.97 before my 40 cent 10% discount. So in essence Lowe's is selling this item to vets only for 3.57.
They both also sell a Dewalt 20V 1/2" drill set model DCD771C2 for the same price of 99.00 however a vet can get it from Lowe's for 89.10. That means I have $10 more in my pocket (not including sales tax savings) and $10 less in their pocket thanks to the vets discount which applies to every item every day of the year, not just on special sales days or items not on sale. You may call that a come on - I call it honoring our vets!
