Memorial Day is more than an extra day off (if you’re lucky). It’s an opportunity to honor those who have sacrificed their lives for their country. At the same time, it’s a chance to show appreciation for those active and retired service personnel who make daily sacrifices as well. And one way to show appreciation is to send some free stuff their way. Fortunately, some local businesses have put together a few nice entertainment options on Monday that are totally free for active and retired military. Here are a couple of good ones:
* Lowry Park Zoo, 1101 W. Sligh Ave., is offering free admission for active and retired military, drilling reservists, National Guardsmen and up to three dependents of military personnel. Dependents can take advantage of the offer without the service member but an adult must accompany child dependents. This is a great deal for families, including those who have a loved one serving overseas.
* The Museum of Science and Industry, 4801 E. Fowler Ave., is offering free admission for active and retired military. Not only do they get admission into the regular MOSI exhibits, but they also get to see the popular Body Worlds exhibit and an IMAX movie. That’s a $30 value. Additional family members and guests will receive $5 off their tickets as well. MOSI will also have inflatable batting cages with the Rays’ Street Team and radio broadcasts, so it should be a fun event.
Both of these are great deals, so try to catch them if you can. And if you know someone in the military, say thanks and tell them about it.
