{{{Music}}}
Come on a little trip with me. I want to show you some things that maybe you've forgotten, some things that make our country and our heritage so wonderful, some things that make us take pride in America.

Do you want to know something interesting? More than one-third of this country belongs to the public. That's right. More than one-third of this land belongs to you and me.

This public land is there for us to use and enjoy, but at the same time, we have to take care of it.
