Why didn't we think of this before? Regardless, very cool.

This year, The Oregon Parks & Recreation Department began a new Veteran's Day tradition -- for the first time, OPRD is honoring disabled veterans and active-duty military servicemen and women by waiving state park day-use and camp site fees.

Established by the 2003 Oregon Legislature, the fee waiver applies to 26 state parks that require vehicle day-use permits and to the rental of traditional camp sites and tent sites in 50 campgrounds, OPRD officials said.

The new state park fee waiver is observed on Memorial Day and Independence Day as well as on Veteran's Day.
