WILLIAMSBURG, Va., (WVEC) -- Military members and their families can receive free admission to Colonial Williamsburg during Memorial Day weekend.
From May 25 to May 28, active duty military, reservists, veterans, National Guard members and their families will get free admission tickets courtesy of a $100,000 grant from the Home Depot Foundation, according to a press release.
“Colonial Williamsburg’s Honoring Service to America program aligns with The Home Depot Foundation’s commitment to improve the lives of military families,” John E. Ellington, director of finance and grants administration for The Home Depot Foundation, said.
“It is an honor to provide military families an opportunity to visit Colonial Williamsburg and immerse themselves in the history of a nation for which they sacrifice so much.”
Service members do not need to be present for qualifying guests to receive free Honoring Service to America tickets, which are provided to dependent family members of currently deployed troops with appropriate ID.
Veterans who separated before retirement can bring a copy of their honorable discharge paperwork, form DD-214, as identification of service.
