What better place than a national park or wildlife refuge to reflect on the freedoms we enjoy and the sacrifices made by members of the armed services to protect those freedoms?
In honor of these heroes, all public recreation land managed by the National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation will waive entrance fees Wednesday – Veterans Day.
“The Department of the Interior is honored to offer this fee-free day to thank our nation’s service men and women,” U.S. Interior Secretary Ken Salazar said. “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 harms way. ”
Only entrance fees are waived. Fees associated with camping, lodging or other activities remain.
Indiana has three national parks – the George Rogers Clark national Historic Park; Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore; and Lincoln Boyhood National Memorial.
