"In honor of World Ranger Day I want to thank all park rangers, especially those working in Nevada at the State Parks, Lake Mead National Recreation Area, and Great Basin National Park. These hardworking men and woman have a tremendous responsibility as they care for all our parks. As rangers, their duties are endless. They are educators, conservationists, and protectors among other things. We should honor and thank rangers on this special day and every day for the invaluable service they provide to our parks."
