In some countries, like Denmark and Israel, there exists mandatory service in the military. Here in the USA, we have an all volunteer army. But I think we are missing a great opportunity. As we leave Yellowstone I can't get over how amazingly beautiful and diverse this land is. On any given day you can see 1/2 a dozen different unspoiled landscapes.
Every American should come to Yellowstone for 1 month to serve their county so that they can experience the beauty of the land and have a better perspective on our collective stewardships of our one and only planet. If you love America, you must love both our ideals and the bountiful land that make us the strong nation that we are (as for the people, well, I'll let you decide for yourself). The genius of preserving this treasure can't be understated.
Yes, Yellowstone is that amazing. If you have the means (and if you are reading this you do) you must visit Yellowstone. And I don't mean you should, I mean you must. Start making your plans today.
I think Pat spent an entire summer working there, so he's good, but I do need to get myself out there.
