Veterans Day is a time to recognize the men and women who have served our country, and this year, The Home Depot is celebrating with a little something extra for military shoppers.
The home improvement retailer already offers a 10% military discount year-round to eligible service members, veterans and military spouses, but this Veterans Day, it's taking things a step further.
For the first time, The Home Depot is offering a military-exclusive gift-with-purchase promotion, giving eligible shoppers the opportunity to score a free Husky Army Green Tool Bag when they purchase one of six qualifying Husky products between Nov. 11 and Nov. 30, while supplies last.
There's a catch,
though: Eligible shoppers must be enrolled and verified through The Home Depot's Military Discount program and opt in to the promotion by 10 p.m. ET on Tuesday, Nov. 10, that's today! Qualifying purchases must also be made online through HomeDepot.com or The Home Depot app, so shopping in-store won't count toward the offer.
Here's everything you need to know about the Veterans Day freebie and which Husky products qualify.

How to activate your military discount at The Home Depot
The Home Depot uses SheerID (a trusted third-party service) to verify your military status, so you can't use the discount online or in-store without first linking it to a free The Home Depot account. But don't worry, the setup is quick and completely free.
- Create a free The Home Depot account - Head over to TheHomeDepot.com. In the upper right-hand corner, you’ll see a person icon—that’s the account home. Click that to log in or create an account. You’ll just need typical info like your name, email, and password. Once created, you should be automatically logged in.
- Access the military discount - Your next stop is the Military Benefits page. Scroll to the discount section and select "Get Started." You’ll be asked whether you are the service member or the spouse, then your branch, status, name and birthday. The Home Depot runs this through the SheerID database to verify you in seconds.
- Start saving!
- Shop online: Your 10% discount will apply automatically to eligible items in your cart as long as you're logged in.
- Shop in-store: Open The Home Depot app and scan your Virtual ID (QR code) at the register. While some legacy registers still allow a phone number, having the app ready is the most reliable way to ensure the discount hits your total.
