In honor of Veterans Day, all military personnel, active and retired, and their families will receive free admittance to Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and all other National Park Service sites, on Sunday, November 11, 2007.
The website: htttp://www.nps.gov/pub_aff/veterans/honor.htm provides information on National Park Service battlefields, military parks, and historic sites that commemorate the service of American veterans. The 391 units of the National Park Service preserve and protect some of the country’s most significant scenic and cultural places.
“I hope that all service members take advantage of this fee-free day and spend Sunday in a park making memories with their families,” said NPS Director Mary A. Bomar. “I am part of a military family and I know firsthand that time spent together is extremely precious. National parks provide wonderful opportunities for families to connect with each other while they explore our country’s natural, historical, and recreational treasures.”
The fee exemption applies to entrance fees only
