Many, many thanks to an amazing person!
On this National Day of Mourning, we remember former President Jimmy Carter. The National Park System evolved during Jimmy Carter's presidency to preserve many special places Americans enjoy today.
Among his many awards and accomplishments, President Carter was also an honorary National Park Service park ranger, recognized for his service, leadership, and legacy of conservation.
