Thank you all for your dedication to preserving our parks and educating the visitors. You are seen and greatly appreciated.

We appreciate the work all of you do every day to keep our parks safe, to keep people safe, and to keep wildlife safe. Your work is more important than ever. Thank you.

Thanks Kate for choosing a path to make the world a better place! I know how hard you worked this summer on trail crew at crater to make it a safer and more accessible space for guests. I loved seeing you interact with guests to share your incredible knowledge about the park and passion for what you do. I am proud of you for choosing to winter over to serve and protect those who want to access the backcountry in the snowy winter conditions.

Thank u for running the parkway smoothly all these years

We visited Yellowstone and Grand Teton for the first time during the first week of October - just fabulous! And every Park team member we encountered was helpful and friendly. The staff at every venue was wonderful. Everyone was anticipating the parks' transitions to winter schedules. We've visited many of our National Parks, all around the country, including Alaska and Hawaii, and never had an experience that wasn't breathaking and beyond our expectations. Thank you all so much for providing those experiences!

Thank you for caring for our beautiful Parks, helping us all to enjoy the many wonders of the natural world. Your dedication and hard work makes a huge difference and doesn't go unnoticed! Thank you, thank you!

Thank you for all that you do to keep our National Parks beautiful and visitors safe and happy. We appreciate your smiling faces during our visits!

Dear Park Rangers, thank you for your service to our Nation’s Amazing Parks. We had an incredible time celebrating our 30th anniversary in Bar Harbor visiting so many iconic places: Bubbles Rock, Jenny’s Pond, Cadillac Mountain, The Beehive and more. Grateful for All you do.💖

Thank you to all of you who work to keep this park as unspoiled and beautiful as it is. My visit there changed my life -- in a wonderful way. I had been through a terrible ordeal of caretaking my husband through his four years of cancer treatment and my mind was awash with grief and sadness and I just couldn't think thoughts that pertained to things outside my own head. Joshua Tree enabled me to open my eyes and look outward, beyond myself, and remember the bond I had always felt with nature but seemed to have lost. There was a primeval atmosphere that humbled me.

Thank you for your wonderful service to America!
