Team,

Yesterday, the U.S. Senate passed the Great American Outdoors Act and by doing so guaranteed permanent full funding for the Land and Water Conservation Fund. This common sense, bi-partisan legislation is a huge win for our nation's public lands, veterans, military families, civilians -- a win for everybody.

Now it's time to get this bill over the finish line.

Now that the Senate has passed the Great American Outdoors Act, we're calling on the House of Representatives to act quickly and send this legislation to the President's desk for his signature.

Our engagement in this campaign should come as no surprise. Whether Earl Shaffer, a WWII veteran and the first person to thru-hike the Appalachian Trail or President Teddy Roosevelt, New York Army National Guard veteran and unwavering conservationist, veterans have a long-standing relationship with public lands and the outdoors.

That's why we recently teamed-up with seven retired general officers in their calls to protect our public lands and fully fund the Land and Water Conservation Fund, a bipartisan program that has invested $18.4 billion to preserve battlefields and other historic sites, protect iconic places from Grand Canyon National Park to the Appalachian Trail, and has supported 42,000 state and local projects -- at least one in every county, in every state in the country.

In addition to the healing qualities our public lands provide, passing the Great American Outdoors Act and fully funding the Land and Water Conservation Fund will also be a critical tool in helping our economy recover -- stimulating tourism and generating a U.S. outdoor recreation economy to the tune of $887 billion in consumer spending and helping to create 7.6 million jobs. All without costing the American taxpayer a dime.

We're almost to the finish line because of the advocacy of so many of you -- veterans, military families, and allies -- throughout the country and in the halls of Congress in Washington, D.C.

We're almost there but we're not done yet.

Join us!
