Greetings from Statue of Liberty National Monument

I haven’t gone to many national parks but i did go to the Statue of Liberty many years ago. I appreciate the history. I enjoy hiking and spending time outside.

Sincerely,
Denise

Statue of Liberty National Monument

State(s): New Jersey New York,

“I think nature is beautiful, peaceful and something we should protect so that we and future generations can continue to enjoy it and benefit from our history. I am thankful for the park rangers who preserve the parks. I'm sure its not easy work.”
