Free Entrance to National Parks for Veterans and Gold Star Families
Sorry if this is a dupe...I did a search.
Since we have so many veterans, I thought I would share. I also sent it to my daughter, who is a veteran. Quote:

Liz and I went here yesterday.
https://www.nps.gov/asis/index.htm We paid our yearly $45.00 for our national park pass there yesterday. We saw numerous wild horses, large shore birds, crabs, and various other animals like deer and the such. It was well worth the $$. If you are ever in Maryland, just south of Ocean City, I highly recommend a visit to Assateague National Seashore Island. |

In other words, the vocal, in your face Twitter president, who was never shy about voicing his policies, didn't make a big deal about this, he just had it done, quietly. I'm guessing the parks will have signage at the entrances so those who qualify will know their visits are comped? Do Gold Star families have some kind of ID to show, or will that just be on the honor system? What kind of piece of shit would someone have to be to lie about that just to get free admittance to a national park? |

Texas gives free admittance to its state parks for vets with a 60% service related disability rating, but nothing to able bodied vets or to Gold Star families.
Giving free admittance to state parks for Gold Star families seems like a no brainer to me, as long as we limit it to parents, surviving spouse, and children only otherwise, virtually every one of us would have a claim. I had at least one relative die in WWII. I don't think that qualifies me as a Gold Star family, for example. |

Campers were camped right on the dunes near the beach.There were horse pies everywhere, so the horses just walk among them. It's gotta be cool to hear that from your tent at night or wake up and see one right outside your tent.

That's nice but I'll continue to boycott them based on general principle. Should be free to anybody who pays taxes. They already paid once, making them pay again is a scam.

Never thought about it but makes sense. Plus as a veteran, it feels like my service is being used to promote consent to the rule of the evil doers in D.C. I don’t consent to being governed by these people or this system. I don’t think anyone else should either. Resistance is not futile. They can take their free passes and stick them up their asses. |
