The Dewitt County Clerk, Kari Harris, has announced a new free service offered by her office for Veterans.

The free program with no expense to taxpayers is known as the Honor Rewards program. Veterans can sign up in Harris' office or online to receive an Honor Rewards card, which qualifies them for discounts and incentives at participating businesses in the community. 

All a veteran needs to do is visit www.honorrewards.com, click on DeWitt County, and fill out the form with details on when they served and with what branch of the armed forces. If an individual prefers to sign up in person, Harris encourages stopping into her office, and they will help you get signed up. 

Harris indicates this card is not exclusive to use in DeWitt County. She is hoping to have local business get registered so veterans can use it locally. 

There are benefits for a business being a participant in the program. Harris indicates not only will they be supporting veterans but their business goes on the program website so any veterans coming to Clinton could potentially see that and stop into their establishment.

The website again is honorrewards.com. You can also contact Harris' office at 217-935-7780.
