 WASHINGTON (AP) - First lady Laura Bush on Thursday helped launch a $10 million fundraising effort to draw more children to the 388 national parks.
From the steps of the Jefferson Memorial, Bush lauded the decades-old Junior Ranger program that teaches young Americans about the parks.
"As Junior Rangers discover our parks, they learn lessons about history, culture and science," she told an audience that included 27 children from nearby Virginia schools.
