You have to have some method of proving that you are the Widow of a military or veteran.  

• Department of Defense sponsorship card (spouses, widows, and widowers)

So what is the question?  If you're saying you don't have any proof, AT&T can't give you the discount. You would have to contact the ole' US government for that info as a widow of a veteran or active...

It would be more cohesive if you asked all your questions on one thread and got all your answers on one thread rather than scattering questions around on threads that may not get a reply or don't apply to your situation.
