They need to sell Bowie knives to commemorate the defense of Texas.

I thought Home Depot was on board the Trans/ Diversity/ Inclusion wagon? Did their wheels fall off? ….i stopped shopping there years ago when they got on that wagon.

Does Home Depot still make veterans jump through hoops for their vet discount?

Well last time I was at Home Depot I was told I had to register, download something etc...And I carry a miniaturized DD214 and my DL is stamped “veteran”.

I couldn’t believe it...I told them to keep their effing discount and left what I was trying to purchase at the register...I never went back to Home Depot and that was about 2 years ago.

I am more interested in overthrowing a despotic President in Washington DC.

Would it be useful for that purpose?

The one near me does. Would not accept my retired military ID as proof.

I have never seen any swords or armor at my local Home Depot.
