Superintendent Mike Murray announced today that in honor of current and former servicemen and women, Wright Brothers National Memorial will offer free admission to all park visitors on Thursday, Nov. 11, 2010. Everyone is invited to take advantage of this opportunity and enjoy these treasured places. "The Department of Interior is honored to offer this fee free day and to extend our gratitude to all who have served in the U.S. armed forces and defended the people, freedoms, and resources of this country," said Superintendent Murray.
The 391 units of the National Park Service preserve and protect some of the country's most significant scenic and cultural places and hold something for everyone. In the parks, visitors can enjoy a holiday, often without making more than a short trip from one of the population centers many of us call home.
