Veterans Day free Admission

The president just recently opened up all Dept. of Interior Public lands to all vets free of charge that include National Parks, BLM fee and non fee areas, etc for primarily camping and this includes access to more Fish and wildlife areas for fishing and hunting that were before off limits. Thank you POTUS.

I emailed our President about something we have petitioned for, for along time. Veterans especially Disabled Veterans hunting and fishing access to all Federal Lands and Waters. Of course states will holler but shouldn't. We pay taxes for game and fish management the US Fish and Wildlife service plus we paid the price many times over serving our country and especially if a Disabled Vet who ever day still suffers.

AMEN BROTHER. Some veterans sacrificed greatly for their country.

Seems every national holiday brings no cost admission to NPs while the park service continues to cut back on the senior pass contractual rights. Giveth with the right hand whilst taking with the left.

What contract would that be? I never remember a contract with the federal government about age!
I think you are just a negative Nancy

Now if we could get a national hunting and fishing license...at least on our Federal lands and Waters.

I agree 100%.

You beat me to it...

This is great news!

We honor the men who served and/or fought to protect our nation.
Others have died, in war time and in peace time, and every serviceman knew the risk when they signed up. Hopefully this level of respect and gratitude is just the beginning.

Vets should never have to pay, let all the foreign tourists make it up. Off topic but every combat vet should have free access to the same stuff retirees get.

Happens every year on Veterans Day
