You are thoughtful, caring and patriotic innkeepers. Scott

This is the special on my website:

Active duty members of the armed forces, policemen/women, and firemen/women, we thank you for helping to ensure our freedom and safety by offering you a 15% discount on our guest room rates for a 1 night stay and 20% off 2 nights or more. Make your reservations less than 24 hours before check-in, and receive 25% off (2 nights or more.). Some seasonal restrictions apply. Holidays excluded.

I would be more than delighted to offer a discount to those in the military. We have quite a good percentage of serviceman in our area. There are quite a few armories here as well.

Any suggestions for the discount?

It would also be exciting to hosts a wedding for a couple planning to marry before leaving or returning. I could turn it into a “entry event.” They themselves would get their lodging comped for the event. If they choose the inn it could be their event site and rooms would be open for others to book who are attending the wedding.

I know Dover Air Force Base well. While awaiting a foster home I stayed with an Aunt and Uncle in Delaware. His name was Bill Keiser and he drove one of the hearse that came to the base for servicemen. I remember the first time I went with him to the base. At that time I was a young teenager but the experience was one that left a lasting impression.

The toll it took on my uncle was tremendous as it never ever got easier to drive the hearse to pick up someone’s son who would never again embrace their parents.
