BEDANDBREAKFAST.COM SALUTES ACTIVE MILITARY THIS MEMORIAL DAY
Hundreds of special offers for active military and first responders; a portion of gift card sales will be donated to Fisher House Foundation, providing housing for families visiting wounded soldiers.

Austin, TX – Innkeepers from Alaska to Alabama and 41 states in between are opening their doors to active military and first responders with discount offers, special rates, and free night stays. Knowing that those on military leave want every moment to be special, BedandBreakfast.com members are making pampered B&B getaways easy and affordable; for the complete list, click here. Additionally, in commemoration of Memorial Day, BedandBreakfast.com will support Fisher House Foundation, a private-public partnership supporting the U.S. military in their time of need, while making it easier for you to offer a B&B getaway to your favorite service man or woman.

From Mother’s Day through the end of May, reward your favorite service man or woman with The Getaway Gift Card from BedandBreakfast.com, welcomed at more than 4,000 B&Bs in the U.S. and Canada. Use promotional code FisherBB, and 5 percent of your 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 for you on gift card purchases when you use the promotional code.

About Fisher House Foundation: Because members of the military and their families are stationed worldwide and must often travel great distances for specialized medical care, Fisher House Foundation donates "comfort homes," built on the grounds of major military and VA medical centers. These homes enable family members to be close to a loved one at the most stressful times – during hospitalization for an unexpected illness, disease, or injury. At least one Fisher House is located at every major military medical center to assist families in need and to ensure that they are provided with the comforts of home in a supportive environment. Annually, the Fisher House program serves about 10,000 families, and has made available nearly 3 million days of lodging to family members since it originated in 1990.
