Global:

That the planet was under threat, environmentally, was a fact understood, though not necessarily acknowledged.

So, it followed that the wildlife was also under threat. The wildlife was under threat for the same reasons as the planet was, but, one can argue, it was a more immediate effect on the former than the latter. Whole species, both flora and fauna, had died out, and the rest were in severe jeopardy, even the ones on the LC-list.

They were in danger because of poachers, construction work and encroaching on their natural habitats, pollution of their sustenance (like water and food; whether in the form of other animals (for the fauna), grass or similar) and probably the most dangerous of all, human ignorance.

USA:

Every day was a day that Alfred F. Jones, USA, was a hero.

(imagine the American flag waving in the background while he stands proudly with his right hand on his heart)

But some days he was just reminded just how much of a hero he was and had been, his history brimming with great feats and other heroic words.

Like 244 yrs ago, months before he declared himself a country, a Nation, his army totally kicked England's butt. Then 229 yrs ago, he grew with the addition of a fourteenth state, Vermont.

Of course, his country grew in more ways than just land addition. He got his 11th Amendment to his Constitution 226 yrs ago and 223 yrs ago the 2nd President, John Adams was inaugurated.

He showed his military prowess again (courtesy of the hard ass training he'd received from Gilbert Beilschmidt, Prussia, for his Revolutionary War), 206 yrs ago when he, once again, kicked England's butt. This time during the Anglo-American War.

He just kept on improving heroically with the formation of the United States Department of Labor 107 yrs ago.

So, all in all, this was a day to remember all his heroic past days that so showed how much of a hero he was.
