What does it mean to be a patriotic and military-supporting merchant?

Businesses that support and love the People’s Soldiers

A few days ago, reporters discovered that there were slogans such as “Love dedicated to the meritorious officials and the double support of the heroes are stronger” and “Supporting the heroes” erected every tens of meters on both sides of Wanda Golden Street. With a series of slogans such as "The surge of military sentiment warms the hearts of soldiers" and "Digital Empowerment for Veterans", many businesses have posted discounts such as "20% off for active military personnel, retired military personnel, and martyred families" and "free play for military children" at their doorsteps.

It is understood that this is the first "Patriotic and Military Supporting" commercial street built in our district. The shopping street integrates enterprises and stores in catering, education, training, clothing, beauty and hairdressing and other fields to join the "Army Support Alliance". Active-duty soldiers, retired soldiers, and martyrs can enjoy corresponding discounts and services as long as they hold their valid IDs. Retired military personnel in the province can also show their "veteran code" to obtain corresponding discounts.

Since the beginning of this year, the District Veterans Affairs Bureau has been adhering to the principle of "voluntary participation, voluntary service, and honest cooperation" as its purpose: "Active servicemen and retired servicemen will benefit, the military profession will be respected, and military units will benefit." Based on the principle of "win-win for both parties", through publicity and mobilization, all 102 shops on Wanda Golden Street have now joined the "Supporting the Army Alliance". It is reported that in July this year, our district started to build a "Patriotic and Supporting the Army" commercial street. As of now, there are 173 "Patriotic and Supporting the Army" merchants in the district, forming a good atmosphere of patriotism and supporting the Army.
