Sincere congratulations for the recognition you’ve received for your bravery, for following your still, small voice of conscience and humanity.

Your boy is a good man, and brave like you. I look forward to his posts, to his sincerity and his humble service.

Keep up the good work, fam Parnas!

This gave me a chill. It really is commendable Lev. You could have been like so many others who just keep taking the dirty Trump/GOP money in exchange for lies, praise, and misdirection. Im glad you chose, dignity, patriotism, and to keep your soul. Keep it up Lev!

PS Aaron is doing a great job!

Like father like son is more appropriate in your case or vice versa! Keep up your truthfulness Lev as I know Aaron always will do.

Congratulations on your award and keep us informed on the shenanigans going forward as there’s sure to be a boatload every damn day with these creeps…

Congratulations Lev on your award. It takes a great deal of courage to stand up and speak the truth when prevailing power does all possible to quash it. And how hypocritical to claim it's unpatriotic and lies and on and on forever, when the madman in charge wants the public to rat out National Park employees if they say something deemed to not be in keeping with what is his version of appropriate history and culture. As if he knew.

Keep the faith. And always encourage Aaron to be fierce and fearless in the quest for truth.

Why am I crying? Not just dangerous in America in the world. I am reading this and listening to Mary Robinson talk about Gaza and now I am comforted knowing there are people who will stand up for what is right no matter what. Thank youi.

Wow! Just WOW! Reading this article gave me shivers and tears! Well done, Lev, well done! So proud of you! I’m 81, so probably won’t be around to see what other amazing things you will do in your lifetime. Keep it up! 👍

I am so proud of you AND your son. It is an American story to the core, in a funny kind of way. It takes courage and grit and integrity from both of you, each in your own way, to stand up to the enormity of this moment in time and try your best to help turn the ship. Thank you both for all that you do, each of you bringing your own take, your own experience, your own heart to this work. Carry on!
