Together volunteers cleared debris, eliminated invasive vines, beautified the memorials, and painted the parking lot and amphitheater.  <\/p>\n<p>Chief Ranger Jayson Tinney expressed the park\u2019s appreciation, \u201cWe were amazed by the show of support from volunteers throughout the community! We would like to extend our special thanks to community partners from the office of Congressman Gregorio Kilili Camacho Sablan, American Red Cross, and the CNMI Public School System AmeriCorps program for helping us to coordinate the \u2018Day of Service\u2019 activities. And also, a sincere thank you to the hundreds of volunteers who shared their Saturday with us.  What a great way to celebrate the 100th birthday of the National Park Service.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, conversations began between the National Park Service and Sablan\u2019s office to plan the volunteer opportunity.  <\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe turnout for the Day of Service was amazing,\u201d Sablan said, \u201cand I\u2019d like to thank everyone who answered the call to help restore this beautiful place. But our work is not done. It\u2019s up to all of us as a community to help maintain our park throughout the year.  We can volunteer as individuals, and with our families, friends, and community organizations in groups much smaller than 300. American Memorial Park belongs to all of us, and we can each do our part to keep it beautiful,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p>The Day of Service marks the first of future volunteer cleanups.
