Beginning this Veterans Day, November 11, 2006, U.S. veterans, members of the U.S. armed forces and their families will be admitted free-of-charge on Veterans Day to most public lands managed by the Department of the Interior and the Department of Agriculture. The administrative fee waiver of entrance and/or standard amenity fees will apply annually on Veterans Day at public recreation lands managed by Interior’s National Park Service, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Bureau of Land Management and Bureau of Reclamation and Agriculture’s U.S. Forest Service.
So does that mean you honor them enough to suspend your evil edicts that disarm them in national parks, or does it mean you're just paying lip service, you don't really trust or honor them at all, they've served their purpose, and all you're really offering is a free pass to voluntarily surrender their most elemental of freedoms?
NOTE: Yes, I know the linked document is for 2006. I was sent a link to a new page and couldn't get it to work this morning, but it is an ongoing annual event.
