This issue features the remarkable efforts of Alaska Fire Service smokejumpers for going beyond their job duties and caring about others. There is the Make-a-Wish story of Jedidiah Lusk and stories of international work around the globe. We watched seasonal workers and students complete cabins, trail work, and more. Hundreds visited the Iditarod National Historic Trail Centennial exhibit at the Alaska State Fair for the second year in a row. These stories make me feel good about working for the premier land management agency. Please visit our website for more information at http://www.blm.gov/ak/.
