Center offers complimentary admission for active-duty personnel, veterans
Wabasha, MN – November 11 is Veterans Day and to honor the service and sacrifice of our veterans, the National Eagle Center is offering complimentary admission for all active-duty military personnel and veterans beginning on November 1.
“We know Bald Eagles, the living symbol of our nation, hold a very special significance for men and women in uniform and those who have bravely served in our nation’s armed forces,” said Ed Hahn, Director of Marketing and Communications at the National Eagle Center. “It is an honor to provide the opportunity to those brave individuals who serve all of us to meet the eagle ambassadors.”
This special admission program is being sponsored by a partnership and generous donation by AmericanEagle.com.
