'Operation Salute' Offers Free Park Admissions

By Donna Miles
American Forces Press Service

WASHINGTON, Oct. 20, 2003 - Service members and their families have until Nov. 11 to take advantage of a highly popular program that offers free admission to Anheuser- Busch theme parks.

Thousands of service members and their families have already taken advantage of "Operation Salute," which offers free tickets to Busch Gardens in Tampa, Fla., and Williamsburg, Va.; SeaWorld in Orlando, Fla., San Antonio and San Diego; and Sesame Place in Langhorne, Pa., according to Anheuser-Busch officials.

On Sept. 5, Air Force Lt. Stephen Braddy became the 100,000th military guest to visit SeaWorld Orlando through the program. And although unable to give updated numbers about just how many additional service members have visited the parks, an Anheuser-Busch official said it has been "a lot."

Anheuser-Busch launched Operation Salute in May to honor military members for their role in Operation Iraqi Freedom.

"It is our privilege to offer our parks to the men and women of our armed forces and their families," said Patrick Stokes, president and chief executive officer of Anheuser- Busch. "It is a small gesture of thanks for the hardships endured every day by our soldiers and those closest to them," he added.

"The men and women in our armed forces have made tremendous sacrifices, risking their lives and being separated from their families during the war," agreed August A. Busch III, chairman of Anheuser-Busch. "We wanted to express our deep gratitude for their service, and this gives those who serve and their families some needed relaxation and enjoyment."

The free admission is offered to all active duty military, ready and standby reservists, U.S. Coast Guardsmen, National Guardsmen, coalition forces serving with U.S. troops in Operation Iraqi Freedom and foreign military personnel servicing with U.S. units.

((HUGS)) We'll be waiting for you.

[StarCMC]

Still waiting for my other meeting participants to show up -- here's something I just got on email....

Three girls all worked in the same office with the same female boss.
Each day, they noticed the boss left work early. One day the girls
decided that, when the boss left, they would leave right behind her. After
all, she never called or came back to work, so how would she know they
went home early?

The brunette was thrilled to be home early. She did a little
gardening, spent playtime with her son, and went to bed early.

The redhead was elated to be able to get in a quick workout at the
spa before meeting a dinner date.

The blonde was happy to get home early and surprise her husband, but
when she got to her bedroom, she heard a muffled noise from inside.
Slowly and quietly, she cracked open the door and was mortified to see her
husband in bed with her lady boss! Gently, she closed the door and crept out of
her house.

The next day, at their coffee break, the brunette and redhead
planned to leave early again, and they asked the blonde if she was going to go
with them.

"No way," the blonde exclaimed. "I almost got caught yesterday."
