THE LIGHTING OF MT RUSHMORE NATIONAL MEMORIAL

We were delighted to join a park ranger in the park's outdoor Amphitheater for an inspirational program focusing on the presidents, patriotism and the nation's history. It started with a ranger talk, then a film Freedom: America's Lasting Legacy and then the lighting of the memorial. This all began at 9 pm. It ended with all the veteran's in the audience coming on stage to lower the flag and retire it for the evening, they received a huge round of applause and exited by each touching the flag.
