Apparently they've known about this on the OB since last November.

I only found out about it on Friday when I went to El Morro in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Adult admission was $10 so I put down my USAA credit card and the Park Ranger asked if I was Active Duty, or a Veteran. I said yes and showed him the Veteran stamp on my driver's license.
He told me that I could bring myself and up to 3 guests for free.
So, instead of $20 for my party of 2, we got in free. I was pretty happy with that and thought I'd share here.
Here are the details from the National Park Service:
