We hope it’s not one of President Donald Trump’s last official acts but if it turns out that it is, it just solidifies our belief that he was one of the best presidents we have ever had in America.

And it’s just a small act in the grand scheme of things, but it says so much about him, as well as the left-wing sycophant lunatics in the deep state that have tried to depose him for four years.

The administration has granted Gold Star Families and military veterans permanent free access to every federal national park in the country, which again seems ‘small’ to some people but which is a huge deal from a president who adores the U.S. military.

According to a press release from the Department of the Interior, which is responsible for the management of the country’s national parks:

On behalf of the Trump Administration and in support of America’s military members and families, U.S. Secretary of the Interior David L. Bernhardt signed Secretary’s Order 3387 at the Iowa Gold Star Museum in October, announcing that Gold Star Families and U.S. military veterans will be granted free access to national parks, national wildlife refuges and other federal lands managed by the Department of the Interior starting on Veterans Day (Nov. 11) this year and every day onward. 

Entrance fees for the National Park Service, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service’s National Wildlife Refuge System, and standard amenity recreation fees for the Bureau of Land Management and the Bureau of Reclamation sites will be waived for veterans and Gold Star Families. They will have free access to approximately 2,000 public locations spread out across more than 400 million acres of public lands, which host activities to fit any lifestyle, from serene to high octane, including hiking, fishing, paddling, biking, hunting, stargazing and rock climbing. Additionally, lands and waters managed by the U.S. Forest Service and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers are participating in the program. 

Many Interior managed lands have direct connections to the American military, such as frontier forts, Cold War sites, battlefields, national cemeteries and memorials. These special places pay tribute to our veterans and serve as reminders of their courage and sacrifice throughout the history of our nation, from Minuteman National Historic Park where colonists stood in defense of their rights, to Yellowstone National Park, which was protected from vandalism and poaching by the 1st U.S. Cavalry before the National Park Service was established, to Mount Rushmore where modern warriors attend reenlistment ceremonies.  

For purposes of this program, a veteran is identified as an individual who has served in the United States Armed Forces, including the National Guard and Reserves, and can present one of the following forms of identification: 

* Department of Defense Identification Card

* Veteran Health Identification Card (VHIC)

* Veteran ID Card

* Veterans designation on a state-issued U.S. driver’s license or identification card 

Gold Star Families are next of kin of a member of the United States Armed Forces who lost his or her life in a “qualifying situation,” such as a war, an international terrorist attack or a military operation outside of the United States while serving with the United States Armed Forces.

“The Trump Administration is committed to honoring American patriots – the men and women who have served in our armed forces,” said Secretary Bernhardt. “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 Veterans Day and every single day thereafter.” 

If the president’s legal challenges to what appears to be blatant election theft are not successful, the odds aren’t good that the incoming Biden administration will reverse this policy. There would be too much public heat and humiliation if they did.’

Happy Veterans Day, America, from our [true] president.
