Looks like they're putting their money where their mouth is on the troop support.Anheuser-Busch is honored to salute the men and women of our armed forces and their families. Throughout 2005, members of the military and as many as three direct dependents may enter Anheuser-Busch's SeaWorld, Busch Gardens or Sesame Place parks with complimentary admission.
For your service and sacrifice, we thank you.

Outstanding.
Pretty Freaking Cool!!!
Men and Women of our armed forces..............THIS BUDS FOR YOU!!!!
Big deal. The cost to Anheuser-Busch on this is minimal.
It's the thought that counts. Now how many will bring fake military id's to get in free?
I'm guessing the charge still applies for a $6 hot dog and $20 beer.
I think it's awesome that they are playing off of people's patriotism to make a few extra bucks.
A family of 2 adults and 2 children costs $142.00 to get into SeaWorld in San Antonio for the day...and that's just admission.
For those of us that like to take our kids to places like that, that is an awesome deal. You're not obligated to buy $6.00 hotdogs and ice water refills are free.
That's very cool of them to do that...considering they don't have to.
actually, it costs a lot to get in to those places... and military folks don't have a lot of money so this is really nice for them.. who cares how much it cost to AB?
I think this a conspiracy by president Busch!
Sure they spend a little to provide the free admission and what not but they'll make that back and then some from all of the good redblooded Americans who will now dutifully buy a 24 pack of Bud instead of Miller...
So what? Isn't that what advertising is all about - to get people to buy your product over the compe ion? The fact that they are supporting the military is what's important - if they increase their market share as a result - more power to them!
BTW - I don't drink alcohol, so it doesn't matter one way or the other to me!
If AB makes more money off of it, good for them....had it applied to me, unless I ended up purchasing stock or something, I really wouldn't care. It's still saving me a lot of money because me & my kids like to go to places like that and because it's so expensive can't always afford to do so.
It's a lot easier to come up with an extra $50 for drinks and whatever if you don't have to pay the $100 to get in, too.
So stop acting like the company has done some sort of great service.
Damn Sparky, they are giving away something for free. Don't look the gift whale in the blowhole!
Free to one group and compensated by another...
You know at this point, I don't care what AB does or doesn't do with their money.
Your words would make a nice inscription on a soldier's tombstone. Maybe A-B will pay for them too.
Let's see.. 43.99 for soldier, 43.99 for his wife. $33.99 for two kids.. equals 155.96 PLUS tax goes to $168.24 that you potentially save the servicemember who has always wanted to take his family, but couldn't justify the cost of the tickets.. now, he can pack a lunch in an ice chest and take the kids for a minimal cost to him.
it is ing great...
p.s. yes, i own stock in BUD. one of the best stocks to own.
Actually, they have been doing this for the past 4 or 5 years....
It is appreciated....
Compensated by who?
...compensated by those redblooded patriotic Americans who will buy Bud or more of it.
There is nothing that can repay these brave men and women for what they are sacrificing; however, if this thank you from AB allows a military family to spend some quality time together enjoying something that they would otherwise not have the money to do, then why are some of you so down on it? Most military families live on a limited income and trips to places such as Sea World are many times way beyond the family budget.
AB makes enough money that they can do this without harming their bottom line - and it gives them some great PR!
Uh, so what. And why would anyone buy more beer because of this commercial?
