BARTLETT, New Hampshire — Attitash in Bartlett, New Hampshire will honor our nation’s defenders and their families through a pictorial display of patriotism and courage of New England representatives who are serving or have served our nation in The Global War on Terrorism (GWOT). One hundred soldiers’* stories will be exhibited across the resort’s lodges for guests to view. Guests will also be encouraged to write in individual journals that will be available for each soldier represented and then sent to the respective soldiers.

???The weekend is all about raising awareness of the sacrifices our troops and their families make every day. These brave men and women volunteer to put their lives on the line so that we can stay safe at home. The sacrifices that those in uniform and their families make should not be taken for granted and should be honored. This is our small way of saying ???thank you’,??? said Robin Graham, V.P. of Administration at Attitash.

In addition to the pictorial display all active duty, National Guard and reserve soldiers, and retired military personnel as well as any U.S. military veteran can receive a free lift ticket for that day when they present a valid military I.D. at the ticket window.

Guests can receive $10 off the price of their lift ticket when they bring any three items (from a qualifying list**) that will be sent to the soldiers currently stationed in Iraq and Afghanistan. Season Passholders are also invited to bring items. All guests skiing at the resort that day will receive an American flag lapel pin.
