Six Flags Great Adventure has always been a big supporter of its
community, often offering free and discounted admission and special
events. In 1991, Great Adventure extended an invitation to the
park for the thousands of veterans of Operation Desert Storm and their
families, as well as all personnel from the local military bases. The
event included a patriotic decorated park and a welcome home parade
including area military and local school bands. A rally at noon
was held in the Great Arena with military and state officials including
the 19th Army Band from Fort Dix and the Civil Air Patrol Devils Drill
Team. A fireworks salute to our armed forces capped off all the
festivities.
