Exceptional way to build community while recognizing service. The 50% discount for family members is a realy nice touch since military life impacts the whole household, not just the service member. When i worked with veteran orgs before, the biggest draw was always the communal aspect of these events. Folsk just wanted a place where peopel understood.
