Southwest Airlines to offer free booze to military personnel on Memorial Day

What's the best way for an airline to honor those who have fought for America's freedom? Free booze, of course!

This Memorial Day, Southwest Airlines will be offering all military servicemen and women with valid ID a complimentary alcoholic beverage. Don't drink? That's okay. Southwest will also be providing free Monster Energy Drinks to military personnel-- perfect for helping you fall asleep on a long flight.

Members of the military will also be allowed to board the plane immediately after the Business Select class (woo-hoo! U-S-A! U-S-A!) and they'll also be the first ones off the plane.

Nice goin', Southwest. It's literally the least you can do.
