📜 This Day in History – September 24, 1906

Teddy Roosevelt designated Devils Tower as the first U.S. National Monument.
A big rock. A bold move. A love letter to the wild.

You made Trudeau proud, Teddy—
with your jaw set firm, your laugh so heady.
But most of all, you made us see
the wild was worth its sanctity.

The first of many marks you made—
a monument to what won’t fade.
