In the USA today,a solemn remembrance and tribute takes place for fallen heroes of all wars fought by US veterans.Parades,memorial services,TV documentaries,film
screenings and more pervade small town and large US cities activities on this day.
The challenges, battles and wars of the past lay the foundation for the strength and courage of future generations to survive when the going gets tough.
Today's global conflicts involve many challenges and battles fought in other arenas than combat zones.Sometimes the challenge requires a battle of wits, a merging of ideas or gathering of talents and skill to combat mortal enemies of ignorance,famine,
natural disasters and fear.
In the USA today, a small but significant battle is raging against a virulent oil
spill in the Gulf of Mexico.Life in those regions is literally threatened by the toxic effects of the oil spill on the food chain and economic sustenance of the people in the region.Animal and human family survival is at stake.
You do not have to live in the region to help fight the calamity! If you have an idea
or a solution to battle the oil spill, enlist your talents,skill, knowledge and creativity and do your part!
Children can make a difference too by learning about the issues and developing
knowledge and skills for future benefit of our natural animal and human resources.
The American Petroleum Institute (API) has an excellent on line classroom energy
presentation with lesson plan,games and interactive modules at
