Each of them has worked hard to help reach the targeted goal of "zero deaths" in our National Parks! Ranger Sherman, of Fairfield, Pa., was recognized for his leadership and personal efforts to address safety concerns at Gettysburg in problem areas such as crosswalks, speed zones, accident scenes, and bicycle safety. “We are extremely happy to recognize John Sherman for his efforts here at Gettysburg and Eisenhower parks to save lives,” said Ed W. Clark, Gettysburg Superintendent. “Ranger Sherman has been honored throughout the National Park system and more than 400 parks as a traffic safety champion!” Gettysburg National Military Park preserves, protects and interprets for this and future generations the resources associated with the 1863 Battle of Gettysburg, during the American Civil War, the Soldiers' National Cemetery, and their commemorations. |
