Memorial Day 2021: Gold Star families, veterans get free National Park access
Fox News
The National Parks Service (NPS) is offering military families a special gift on Memorial Day by granting free entry to all national parks across the U.S. to the family members of active and fallen U.S. military personnel.
To be a Gold Star family is a distinction no one wants, as it indicates a family who has lost a loved one through military service. The program has now become a permanent feature, granting access for those families on an ongoing basis. "Free access for veterans and Gold Star Families will continue indefinitely, unless the Secretarial Order and/or FLREA are amended, superseded, or revoked/expired," the NPS website says.More Related News
