Two ways to honor a serviceman or servicewoman



During Memorial Day weekend -- Saturday, May 23,  through Monday, May 25 --  deals will be offered for a cruise on New Hampshire's  Lake Winnipesaukee aboard the M/S Mount Washington.  Veterans, military personnel, and their families get a $10 discount. Additionally, children 12 and under cruise free. Breakfast, lunch and cocktails are available on board. The offer is good on all daytime cruises from all ports. 
The cruise around Lake Winnipes-aukee covers 72 square miles and contains more than 240 habitable islands. It is surrounded by the White Mountain range. For daily 2 ½ hour cruises, regular adult fares are $25, children 5 to 12 are $12, and children 4 and under sail  free.  The M/S Mount Washington’s official season runs May 23-Oct. 24.

Through Memorial Day, here is another way to reward those servicepeople while doing a bit of good.  The Getaway Gift Card from BedandBreakfast.com, in an amount of your choosing,  is valid at more than 4,000 B&Bs in the U.S. and Canada. Use promotional code FisherBB and 5 percent of the sale will be donated to the Fisher House Foundation to build “comfort homes” on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers, enabling family members to be close to loved ones during hospitalization. BedandBreakfast.com will match that donation with a 5 percent discount on gift card purchases when you use the promotional code.
