I don’t drink beer but if I did Anheuser Busch would have my business on a regular basis after what I read today. Via Mudville Gazette:

For those few that have missed the Dawn Patrol, here’s my excuse. My kids come home from work the other day and say “How ’bout we go to Bush Gardens (Tampa)”
It’s FREE for military.

That’s right, those that are not familiar with this program it’s called “Here’s to the Heroes”
“Here’s to the Heroes” provides a single day’s free admission once a year to any one SeaWorld or Busch Gardens park, Sesame Place, Adventure Island or Water Country USA, for the service member and as many as three of his or her direct dependents. Any active duty, active reserve, ready reserve service member or National Guardsman is entitled to free admission under the program. He or she need only register, either online here or in the entrance plaza of a participating park, and show a Department of Defense photo ID. Also included in the offer are members of foreign military forces serving in the coalitions in Iraq or Afghanistan or attached to American units in the U.S. for training.

This appears to be a fantastic program and shows tremendous support for our troops and their families. If you are currently in the Armed Forces I encourage you to follow the above link and find out more of what is available to you free of charge.

    I don’t drink at all now and when I used to drink I didn’t like beer, but I have been to Busch Gardens and Sea World where they have lots and lots of beer.

    Maybe the ticket purchase price I’ve paid has helped get these soldiers and their families in, but what if they have more than two children? They should check that out and allow the entire family in there. That’s my only suggestion.

    I read the article at Mudville Gazette and noticed she said she stayed in some pretty good quarters at MacDill AFB. She said they were also used as Temporary Living Quarters.

    The only experience I ever had with temporary living quarters was when my husband returned from Thailand and we were stationed at Fort Bragg, NC.

    It was an old barracks room and we had to shower in public bathrooms. Not exactly close to what she describes, but then my husband always said you could tell the Air Force facilities because they had air conditioning, better mess hall, better NCO clubs, better barracks. Even in Thailand where his Army base was co-located with an Air Force base.

    Air Force is the place to be if you have a family.;)
