In 2006, the National Park Service began commemorating Veterans Day nationwide with a fee-free celebration day in appreciation for the service and sacrifice of American veterans. Park personnel will proudly welcome Veterans and their families to both fortifications in honor of the military on Veterans Day.
“We are pleased to once again honor our Veterans by providing free admission to Castillo San Felipe del Morro and Castillo San Cristobal on Veterans Day” said Superintendent Walter J. Chavez. Chavez added “his thanks to all the men and women who have served to protect us and our country, including those on our staff…”
