Trump Provides Veterans Lifetime Access to National Parks

VOA News

   Ahead of Veterans Day on Wednesday, the Trump administration announced
   lifetime free access to U.S. National Parks for all veterans and gold
   star families.

   "The Trump administration is committed to honoring American patriots --
   the men and women who have served in our armed forces," Secretary of
   the Interior David L. Bernhardt said.

     Veterans of the U.S. Armed Forces will have free entrance to

   Last week, President Donald Trump proclaimed November "[7]National
   Veterans and Military Families Month."

   He was heavily criticized in September after The Atlantic magazine
   reported he allegedly referred to U.S. soldiers killed in combat as
   "suckers" and "losers" -- allegations the president has denied.
