I think we should allow all armed forces that served in WWII ski for free no matter what.Vinny Vincenzo wrote:Their glory was more for what they did after the war than during it.

Don't make it sound like they just shcussed their way to glory, hardly the case.
And since the 10th did none of their fighting on skis and all of their fighting on the ground should they be allowed free admission to Disney Land?

WILLIAMSBURG, Va. (AP) - Anheuser-Busch says a program giving free admission to Busch Gardens and Water Country USA to members of U.S. and coalition armed forces and their families has been extended through 2008.
The program applies to all nine amusement parks owned by Anheuser-Busch nationwide. Since February 2005, nearly 4 million military personnel and family members have visited its parks.
Any active duty, active reserve, ready reserve service member or National Guardsman and as many as three direct dependents are entitled to a single day's free admission under the program.
Members of foreign military forces serving in Iraq or Afghanistan or attached to American units in the U.S. for training are also included in the offer.
