    "With the utmost respect and gratitude, we are granting veterans and Gold Star Families free access to the iconic and treasured lands they fought to protect starting this Veteran's Day and every single day thereafter," Secretary of the Interior David Bernhardt said in a statement last month. The program starts on a fitting day — Veterans Day, November 11, 2020

    Veterans will soon receive lifetime free access to national parks

    The National Park Service said free access to parks and other public lands will "continue indefinitely," unless the order is "amended, superseded, or revoked."
