Camp Verde, Ariz. – Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments will be joining national park units around the country as they waive entrance fees on Veterans Day in recognition of current and former service men and women.

“From everyone in the National Park Service, I extend gratitude to all who have served in the U.S. armed forces and defended the people, freedoms, and resources of this country,” said National Park Service (NPS) Director Jon Jarvis as he announced the fee-free day. “In honor of veterans, entry to the national parks, which preserve many of our nation’s finest natural and cultural resources, will be free on Veterans Day, November 11. I invite everyone to take advantage of this opportunity and savor places that our veterans have kept safe for us.”

Visitors and commercial tours that arrive at Montezuma Castle and Tuzigoot National Monuments on Veterans Day, November 11, 2010, will be allowed free entry into the park. Regular entrance fees will be collected for any additional days spent in the park beyond Veteran’s Day.
