Except, of course, park service people are normally present at memorials. The Vietnam Memorial, for example, may be open 24 hours, but the park service people are there from 8am to midnight and, among other functions, help respectfully collect the tokens of respect and memory left by visitors many of which have been housed by the Smithsonian. In their absence, these will either be ruined or stolen.
And they certainly are present at parks. Parks that need to be patrolled for the safety of visitors and to prevent people entering the park from taking things from them.
