Around the globe, park rangers are on the front line in the fight to protect our natural heritage. World Ranger Day offers a chance to support their vital work. It's estimated there are more than 100,000 reserves, parks and protected areas around the world. Rangers will usually work with other volunteers and staff members in order to maintain bridges, stiles, gates, and footpaths. They are also the eyes and ears of the national park authority, spending most of their time out and about. Documentary filmmaker Sean Willmore made it his mission to bring real-life stories of the plight of park rangers into the public spotlight through the lens of a camera. He spent nearly a year interviewing rangers in 23 countries, uncovering and recording inspirational stories of service and sacrifice for the documentary film, "The Thin Green Line." Park rangers serve as law enforcement officers, environmentalists, cultural historians, and sometimes all three of these roles.

The hot dog has come a long way since German immigrant Charles Feltman first sold 'frankfurters on milk buns' from his snack stand in 1867. In the 1870's Chili shows up in the U.S. for the first time in San Antonio, sold by a woman by the nickname of "Chili Queen". In 1916 a former Feltman employee, Nathan Handwerker, opens his own Coney Island hot dog stand and sells hot dogs for a nickel instead of a dime. Chili dogs perfectly embody the melting pot of American cuisine, blending influences from various cultures into something uniquely American....today, on the top 5 list of hot dog condiments...chili comes in at #4.
