Park Ranger’s Touching Letter Goes Viral

A former National Park Ranger who was let go on Valentine’s Day wrote a heartwarming letter that has been shared over 220,000 times on Facebook. Family man Brian Gibbs worked at Iowa’s Effigy Mounds, a national park that is home to spaces sacred to Indigenous tribes. “I am the protector of 2500 year old American Indian burial and ceremonial mounds. I am the defender of your public lands and waters… I am the lesson that showed your children that we live in a world of gifts- not commodities,” he wrote. About 1,000 National Park Service and 3,400 U.S. Forest Service employees were let go over the weekend. (AOL)
