Alright Jetsetters,

If you are privileged to know one of the thousands of fine men and women who serve or have served our country please, please pass this on.

In honor of Memorial Day Weekend, the following resorts would like to show their deep appreciation to our men in uniform and encourage them to take a well-deserved vacation.

Ideally, we’d send each and every one of them on an all-expense paid trip- but the world isn’t perfect. Good news is for the value and at these highly discounted rates, these beautiful resorts and breathtaking destinations come pretty close.
