National Park Service was created by the Organic ACT of 1916 which states "..to conserve the scenery and the natural and historic objects and the wild life therein and to provide for the enjoyment of the same in such manner and by such means as will leave them unimpaired for the enjoyment of future generations." It shall be the responsibility of the National Parks Service to preserve local history, local heritage, and educate visitors to these areas. If the National Park Service is allowed to remove historic flags from Fort Sumter. Then the National Park Service will be allowed to remove artifacts from monuments, parks, and reservations under the care of the National Park Service in years to come. There for this petition is to insure other parks artifacts are preserved for the future!
