Fort Wayne Zoo Honors Service Members with
Military Appreciation Weekend
Fort Wayne IN – In honor of Flag Day, the Fort Wayne Zoo is proud to host Military Appreciation
Weekend this Saturday, June 13, through Sunday, June 14, offering free admission to all active duty
and retired military personnel in honor of their service and sacrifice. Military personnel can also bring
up to three guests with them when they visit this weekend at no additional charge. All visitors to the
Zoo will be given the opportunity to plant a provided small flag outside of the Zoo’s Wild Things Gift
Shop in our “Field of Honor” to help commemorate our service men and women.
On Sunday, June 14, the Zoo will open early at 8:40 a.m. with a Military Appreciation Ceremony at 8:50
a.m. just inside the main entrance. The event will begin with a warm welcome from Zoo Director and
CEO Rick Schuiteman, followed by a flag presentation by the National Guard Honor Guard, the Fort
Wayne Police Honor Guard and a few of our local veterans from the VFW Post 857, as well as the
heartfelt rendition of the National Anthem performed by Amelia Clark and Molly Resner.
“Showing our appreciation towards the dedicated and brave service members in our community,
along with their families, is an honor,” said Rick Schuiteman, “We are truly looking forward to giving
everyone a day of connection, celebration, and fun at the Zoo.” Rick Schuiteman will be available for
interview and further comments after the conclusion of the Military Appreciation Ceremony on
Sunday.
