Bush dedicates 100 trees in memory of Gulf veterans
Former President Bush dedicates a grove of 100 trees at Arlington National Cemetery to Persian Gulf War veterans. He notes the US stood for principle and did the right thing and points to a public private partnership spurred by 1990 legislation for a national tree planting initiative. He speaks to about 500 attendees including students and asserts the United States remains the credible guarantor of security and freedom in the region.

Firefighters battle 27000 acre northern New Mexico wildfire
Fire crews used hand tools and helicopters to slow a 7,200 acre blaze near Red River and Questa in northern New Mexico. About 450 Red River residents evacuated, later allowed to return with precautions as ground crews cut fire breaks between the towns. In La Lama and La Questa, hundreds more residents fled. 27 structures burned in La Lama. A San Cristobal man admitted to burning trash, facing misdemeanor charges and possible Forest Service cost recovery. Drought and below normal snow fueled fires across the region, with Arizona also contending a Mount Graham blaze. Authorities warn containment remains uncertain.
