So all the citizens are going to be able to get in there and get a chance to see exactly the amazing engineering that holds that incredible, iconic memorial up in the air on what was a swamp.
They filled it in, they built these cathedral arches, and it's sort of like the Lincoln Memorial is built on top of Notre Dame because that's what it feels like underneath it.
Absolutely.
And of course, this is, as you said, you asked about the honor, but serving as the 55th Secretary of Interior, one of the oldest departments in the government, and have an opportunity because we have not just our 63 flagship national parks, which everybody thinks about, the Yosemites, the Grand Canyon, the Yellowstones, the glaciers, but we also have the
All the historic sites, we have everything from Concord and Lexington, Independence Hall, every Civil War battlefield, revolutionary battlefields, almost 500 national historic sites.
And so at Interior, then we manage across all of those locations any objects that are found.
So think of like the Indiana Jones aspect of this thing, which is the Interior curates more historical objects than anybody but the Smithsonian.
So all the cool stuff that America has.

But just for you, Vince, first time I've said that out loud, but National Park Service is the one that manages the ball.
So if you're shooting off fireworks between the Lincoln Memorial and the Washington Monument, you can thank your National Park Service for managing all the aspects of safety and all the manage
of these celebrations right here as part of our incredible 250th birthday.
I think they're talking pounds of fireworks.
And so this is going to be a record-setting effort that we're chasing.
Could be a Guinness World Book of Records.
