The National Park Service in partnership with Operation Live Well would like to thank military personnel and their families for their service and invite them to enjoy their national parks.

The free Military Pass is a way to thank current US military members and their dependents, Gold Star Families, and US military veterans for their support of our country and to encourage them to explore recreational opportunities on their public lands and waters.

A free lifetime Military Pass is available for Gold Star Families and US military veterans. A free annual Military Pass is available for current US military members and their dependents. The passes provide free access to more than 2,000 federal recreation areas, including national parks, wildlife refuges, and forests.

San Antonio, Texas has the San Antonio Missions where you can walk up and get the pass. Going there next week to pick one up.

Joe, another thank you for posting this. AND including the link for locations issuing passes. I can get my pass at my local Forest Service office.

This thread should be accompanied with images. My hip transplant is still in the healing stage, so no images. When I go down to the San Antonio Missions to get my lifetime pass, I will add an image.
