All military personnel and veterans will be admitted into the facility free of charge, along with one guest.

"Thank you to WGI for, once again, offering this wonderful gesture and opportunity to our veterans," said Palmesano. "Your generous, continued and unwavering support for our veterans over the years has been amazing. It's been a privilege for me to help promote this special event every year."

Palmesano emphasized the importance of recognizing active-duty military and veterans: "Our active-duty military and veterans have done, and continue to do, so much to keep us safe and protect our freedoms. This is a nice way for us to say thank you to our nation's heroes."

He concluded by expressing gratitude: "The bottom line is there are no words we can say or actions we can take that will do justice to the incredible debt we owe to all of our veterans. Thank you again to WGI and thank you to all of our military and veterans."
