“As the wife of an honorably discharged United States Marine, I know the sacrifices that our Veterans have made to serve this great nation. The Thank a Veteran program is a small token of appreciation for those who served, and it is my honor to provide this benefit. Come by and see us – I would like to shake your hand and personally thank you for protecting the freedom of our families.”

Register of Deeds Karen JohnsonA note from...

From car care to dry cleaning, doctors to plumbers, and restaurants to retail stores, a wide variety of businesses offer discounts to our Veterans as a way to honor their service. The Register of Deeds office is working with businesses so they can take advantage of this easy way to confirm a customer’s military service.

If you are interested in joining the growing list of businesses participating in the Thank a Veteran program, please visit www.veteranshonors.com/davidson to sign up. Your business will be included on a list given to Veterans when they receive their Thank a Veteran card, and you will be listed on our website.

You also will receive stickers to display in your business location, showing Veterans and other customers that you appreciate our heroes, and you are participating in the Thank a Veteran program.

Those who have served our nation in the military deserve the full measure of our gratitude. That is why the Davidson

County Register of Deeds offers the Thank a Veteran service to Veterans living

in Nashville.

Veterans already are able to record their official DD214 military discharge papers with the Register of Deeds office. Now, the Register of Deeds provides them with a personal photo ID card to show as proof of service to Tennessee businesses that offer military discounts and other benefits.

No more carrying around or losing copies of their DD214s. No more missing out on a Veteran discount due to no proof of service. Instead, Veterans will have a convenient card they can present when they pay for goods and services at veteran friendly stores, restaurants, and other businesses.

“Thank you for your service”Information is power, and the Register of Deeds office is working to get the word to every Veteran in Nashville who can benefit from the Thank a Veteran program. We are working with the many local groups that serve our military Veterans so that none of these heroes misses this valuable – and well deserved – benefit.

Working hand-in-hand with Veterans organizations

Bring your DD214 discharge papers and a valid photo ID to our offices in the Bridgestone Arena, and a member of our experienced staff will file a permanent record of the DD214. If you have already had your DD214 recorded with us, just bring a valid photo ID.

While you are here, we will create the Thank a Veteran photo ID card that you can take with you. Of course, this service is free, as a way for Register of Deeds Karen Johnson and her staff to express their appreciation for your service.

Simple and free of charge
