Veterans Day weekend: Free admission at all National Parks

Grand Teton Nat'l Park

After shaming itself by putting up Barrycades to keep out elderly veterans from visiting the World War II Memorial during the partial government shutdown, the National Park Service is performing a good deed. In honor of Veterans Day, there will be free admission at each of the 401 national parks through Monday.

Here's a great way to thank a vet, particularly an older one--bring that man or woman to a National Park today or tomorrow.
