As can be seen, the National Park Service, like any viable organization, has attempted to change with the times&3151;not always for the better. The uniform today is basically the same as that envisioned in 1920. Even though it now has shoes and trousers, instead of boots and breeches, there are still far more similarities than differences. The cut of the dress coat has been altered somewhat, to accommodate the women in the Service, but the color remains the forest green laid down in the early years and the buttons and collar ornaments have survived long enough to become a tradition. Old hands like Walter Fry or Dusty Lewis would still recognize a park ranger if they were to run into him to day. The old saying "the more things change, the more they remain the same is nowhere truer than in the National Park Service.
