Free admission to national parks on Veterans Day
The federal government is offering free admission for everyone to national parks, forests and other public lands on Veteran's Day, Nov. 11.
The freebie is intended to help all Americans reflect on the sacrifice made by service men and women, said Interior Secretary Ken Salazar.
"The sacrifices and achievements of the brave men and women of our armed forces can never be understated. We invite all of our visitors to enjoy this fee-free day and take time out on this national holiday to remember our service men and women who are currently serving overseas in harm's way," he said.
