WASHINGTON, March 26, 2006 - A national company's program offering free amusement park tickets to the nation's troops and their families has become so popular it will be extended another year.
Anheuser-Busch began the program, called "Here's to the Heroes," in February 2005. The company had planned to end it early this year, said Fred Jacobs, communications director for Anheuser-Busch adventure parks.
"We recognize that this is a very difficult time, and we wanted to let (the troops) know that our company appreciates their service, their commitment to the country," Jacobs said. "It just happens that one of the most meaningful things that we can give to the servicemembers is free admission to our parks. So it's lucky that we're in theme park business. It allows us to deliver something meaningful to families."
The program is open to active duty servicemembers, active members of the Reserve or National Guard, and up to three direct dependents for one complimentary admission per year. Participants can go online to fill out a form for free admission at http://www.herosalute.com/
