Compliments to Montgomery County Sheriff and U.S. Army Lt. Col. Sean
P. Kilkenny and county Recorder of Deeds Jeanne Sorg for partnering to promote
the innovative Veterans Photo Discount Card program that allows veterans to get
discounts at approximately 500 local businesses.
To draw attention to the program, Kilkenny recently recorded
his military discharge with the Recorder of Deeds Office and received his free
veterans ID merchant discount card.
“It's great to have Sheriff Kilkenny partner with us to help
spread the word about how important it is for veterans to record their
discharge paperwork, so that they and their families get the benefits they have
earned," said Sorg.

The special ID cards enable veterans to receive discounts at
approximately 500 Montgomery County businesses including financial service
providers, food retailers, healthcare service providers, car dealerships, real
estate agents, property management services and more. Local businesses also receive the benefit of
free program advertising, and building stronger relationships with local vets.
Veterans can also receive military funeral and other death
benefits by recording their discharge.
So far, 8,000 of the estimated 50,000 vets in the county are registered
for the discount card program, which began in 2012.
“Words of appreciation for those whom have served our
country are always nice,” said Kilkenny.
“But, showing gratitude with action can be much more valuable for the
vet and the business owner.”
Veterans who would like to apply for a free discount ID card
can stop by the Recorder of Deeds office at One Montgomery Plaza, 3rd floor,
Swede and Airy Streets, Norristown.
Applicants only need to bring their DD2-14 discharge papers and a photo
ID. Registration is free and takes
approximately 15 minutes.

“I'm happy to be able to provide Veterans Discount ID cards,
which are good at hundreds of businesses around Montgomery County,” said
Sorg. “These cards are available thanks
to donors who wish to serve our veterans.”
I'm sure that veterans throughout the county appreciate the program.
