Chris Nagano@charliesaito22.bsky.social · yesterdayPer Trump’s SOP, this will end up disastrously for the American People, our National Parks, end up costing The Long Suffering American Taxpayer (=YOU) $$$ billions, & take years, decades to fix, if his NPS fiasco can even be fixed www.rawstory.com/national-par...

Q8: The Flight 93 NMEM was an example of how memorials can be created by a diverse group of stakeholders through forming of a memorial “community” or partnership. Given this background, what role should memorials play in “community.” @59NationalParks @naturetechfam #ParkChat
Q5: Events of September 11, 2001 and others can and have shaped our perspectives on how we value and recognize life and death. What similarities or differences in memorial building do you see today compared to 100 years or longer? @59NationalParks @naturetechfam #ParkChat
Q4. Think of our more scenic National Parks. Describe any site(s) you’ve visited that cause you similar reflection as perhaps you feel at a National Monument or Memorial. @59NationalParks @naturetechfam #ParkChat

I like that CA State Parks have amended their reservations to try to prevent no-shows and last minute cancellations that make it impossible for others to enjoy their parks. I wonder about that 3 no-shows rule, and how it will be enforced. #ParkChat www.kqed.org/news/1209781...
