World Ranger Day

World Ranger Day

Happy World Ranger Day!

Over many years and at many national parks and monuments I have had good encounters with helpful rangers and other employees of the U.S. National Park Service as well as park rangers in Canada. Today is a good day for me to say thanks to park rangers and other park service employees for the excellent work they do.
