Raul Ruiz actually said...

"My bill honors the service of our Nation's veterans by ensuring that disabled veterans have the opportunity to enjoy and visit America's national parks at no cost."

"National parks give our veterans the opportunity to connect with nature and to exercise, which leads to better spiritual, mental, and physical health."

"I applaud the gentlemen's efforts to provide a lifetime pass to service-connected disabled veterans and I hope we can collaborate in the future."

"I want to thank Representative Ruiz. I think your leadership is commendable for this."
