Every week we feature a fun and/or educational activity you can try at home or in the classroom. Tomorrow is the National Day of the Cowboy, and our mission began in the hands of cattlemen! After World War II, more than 7,000 seagoing cowboys and cowgirls helped us deliver livestock to families in need.
