Among six fully readable, target-relevant original result bodies, 1/6 states a military General Admission percentage, 2/6 state an admission base or military eligibility/limit, 3/6 give a military admission or event claim route, and 1/6 states a dated military admission event. The military percentage count excludes the separate 10% membership discounts on the official Offers, VFW, and VyStar pages. The 2025 free ticket is counted as a dated event, not a current percentage offer. The Meta AI result, two unreadable pages, and the rank-10 supplement are outside the denominator. These counts are limited to this sample.

The official Offers page gives the military General Admission percentage and Guest Relations route but no offer-validity date. The Plan Your Visit page lists advance and day-of rates, yet it does not identify the base for the 10% offer. September 25, 2026 is the review date, not an offer date.
The official 2025 Veteran's Day event is dated November 11, 2025. The Instagram date is the post date only. The Visiting Angels article's title and Military.com's result title do not replace unreadable bodies.
