I wanted to do something special this year for Veterans Day. While listening to some of my favorite talk radio shows last week due to the Election, one of my favorite talk radio hosts, Neal Boortz mentioned a link on his web site that he is doing Merry Christmas Marines again this year.

In the last two years Neal and his listeners have sent over 20 Tons of stockings and Christmas goodies to marines serving on the front lines in Iraq and they want to send more this year. They have teamed up and are working with the Marine Corp League and Patty Lewis at Mom4rMarines, to fill over a thousand stockings to be delivered to Marines in Afghanistan this Christmas.

The Marines celebrate their 233^rd birthday this year, yesterday as a matter of fact, and their sacrifices have protected the freedoms we enjoy to this day. It’s important to not only honor them, but thank them for their service to our country.

In honor of Veteran’s Day, Carnival Cruise Lines is introducing a promotion throughout November that allows active and retired military personnel to book up to three “Fun Ship” staterooms at discounted rates for themselves and their friends and family members.

Reservations must be made between Nov. 1-30, 2008, to qualify for this special offer, which is available in conjunction with a wide range of three- to 12-day “Fun Ship” departures through Dec. 31, 2009, including voyages to The Bahamas, Caribbean, Mexico, Alaska and Hawaii.

Rates start at $159 per person for three-day cruises from Miami and Port Canaveral, Fla., and five-day cruises from New Orleans and Jacksonville, Fla.; from $189 for four-day cruises from Mobile, Ala., and Jacksonville; from $309 per person for seven-day cruises from Miami, Galveston, Texas, and Port Canaveral; and from $359 per person for six-day voyages from Fort Lauderdale, Fla.

The promotion is valid for individual bookings only, availability is capacity controlled and this promotion cannot be combined with any other discount offer. Fare code CPM1 must be requested during the reservations process and military personnel must provide proof of service. Certain other restrictions apply.

If you require assistance for this, please feel free to contact us either via e-mail or the phone number below. We would be honored to service and help any Veteran at any time of the year.

Thank you to all our Veterans!
