"We are grateful to President Trump and Secretary Bernhardt for their commitment to military families and the creation of this opportunity to recognize those who have served in the military and sacrificed so much for our country,” said Margaret Everson, Counselor to the Secretary, exercising the delegated authority of the National Park Service Director. “On Veterans Day, particularly as the daughter of a veteran, I am proud to pause to honor all of our military veterans and reflect on their accomplishments. We encourage these brave men and women and their families to visit their national parks to enjoy the beauty, history, and recreational opportunities of these magnificent lands they protected through their service.”

Secretary Bernhardt announced on October 28 that beginning on Veterans Day 2020 and going forward, Gold Star Families and U.S. military veterans will be granted free access to national parks, wildlife refuges and other federal lands managed by the Department of the Interior. Additionally, lands and waters managed by the USDA Forest Service and US Army Corps of Engineers will be participating in the program. The entrance fee waiver does not cover amenity or user fees for activities such as camping, transportation, special recreation permits or special tours.
