Armed Forces Membership

DHI is pleased to announce the rollout of a new membership type, meant to recognize all Veteran and active service members in the armed forces as a thank you for their sacrifice and dedication.

This new Individual Membership option provides complimentary DHI membership for anyone who meets the following criteria:

Active Duty members of the United States Armed Forces (including the National Guard and Reserve members)
Veterans who have served under war time
Retirees of the United States Armed Forces

To receive the free Individual Veteran Membership, you will need to submit proof of active service or proof of veteran status through either DD214 or a retirement letter. This membership applies to ONLY Active Duty members, veterans who have served under war time (verified by DD214), or retirees who submit their notice of retirement from their branch of service.

If your company is already a DHI corporate member, your membership will continue to fall in the corporate member category.
