Just learned from my Vietnam Veterans Group that Joann's has a military discount every day, I didn't know this. Here is the link explaining the details.

Another not well known discount available to veterans who shop at Lowes or Home Depot. They offer 10% discount on everything if you can show proof you are a veteran or active duty military.

did you have an official card from the VA or current in-service card? They do always give vets 10% off on Memorial day, without much fuss but for every day you do have to have the id card.
this is Lowes faq, Home Depots is essentially the same

Lowe's established the 10% Military Discount to support the men and women who are currently serving our country in the Armed Services1 and to honor Retired Veterans and VA Recipients.2 This 10% discount is also extended to the immediate family3 of those who are currently serving, Retired Veterans, or VA Recipients.
To qualify for the Everyday 10% Military Discount, you must:
Be currently serving in, or retired from, a qualifying branch of the Armed Services, or be the immediate family member of someone who is and have a valid military ID Card.
Or:

We honor all Veterans on three specific holidays: Memorial Day, 4th of July and Veterans Day. During these three holiday weekends, we extend the discount to all veterans who served honorably and who present a valid Form DD214 or other proof of service. The Lowe’s Military Discount is extended to the Veteran community on these three holidays only.
The Military Discount must be used on personal purchases only and cannot be used for Lowes.com purchases, previous sales, or the purchase of gift cards or services including product installations. It cannot be combined with the Lowe’s Price Guarantee, or promotions such as "Spend and Get," "New Mover," "Project Starter," "Your Choice," or discounts such as Quote Support Program (QSP) quotes.

We just show our ID card with our pictures on them and info. We have never had a problem at Lowes or Home Depot. I think I would talk to a manager about it.
