Today the National Park Service celebrates 100 years. Thank you for providing me with hundreds of hours of self reflection about our history and what it means to be a citizen of the United States. Thank you to all my friends who have devoted their careers to preserving our most important historic and natural landmarks and educating the public.
As a long-time, but now former, National Park Service employee I agree completely. Thank you, NPS, for the gift of reflection, remembrance and maintaining the value of “place.” Happy 100th!
