Many of you may already be aware of this but the National Parks recently started a new policy where any veteran with ANY LEVEL of disability, including a 0% rating can get a FREE LIFETIME National Parks pass.
The State of Utah is requiring at least 50% disability for a free annual pass. If any of you qualify for either of these please take advantage as you earned it!

Does that mean all veterans qualify for the national parks pass? If so, how does one obtain one?

Thanks for answering everyone's questions Bob. I guess I wasn't very clear that even 0% is still a disability rating to qualify for the free lifetime pass. I wish the state would follow that example or even better provide one for all veterans. Just to money hungry I guess.

[quote goose_716]I'm 50% disabled I was able to get a special fun tag prior to them stopping that but how do I get this pass?[/quote][font "Comic Sans MS"][#800000][size 3]Which pass are you referring to here, the new Utah pass? If yes, disabled Veterans (with 50% or more rating) can get a free, annual pass from Utah Parks & Recreation offices state wide (which includes all of the State Parks) with proper documentation of your disability rating (VA Letter works for this). But if you still have the old 'Fun Tag', why would you want to go through the hassle of getting a renewal every year? The old 'Fun Tag' is still valid. [/size][/#800000][/font]
