The Clerk's Veterans Discount Program is a public-private partnership that offers discounts and reduced costs on a wide range of services to veterans and military service members. "We are so proud to partner with the Chicago White Sox to provide this wonderful benefit to our deserving veterans and members of the military," Yarbrough said in a news release. "The White Sox have had such a special season and as they head toward the playoffs, we thank them for their unconditional support for our veterans and members of the military every step of the way."
