I'm glad you asked the next question, because I thought I had already acknowledged your correct answer. That must have been when my browser crashed yesterday.

Back to your Veteran's Day question, good question! Sounds like quite a person.

Outstanding, you got it. You are up.

The Kendall dace is an endangered fish, approximately 2 inches long and lives in the warm springs of Kendall Hot Springs, and nowhere else on Earth.

It is called the "Wagon Box." Occurred just south of Story in August of 1867. Chiefs Red Cloud and Crazy Horse and their Sioux warriors attacked a logging crew from Fort Phil Kearny who used the wagons as a fort and new breech-loading rifles to withstand the attack.
