It’s May 28. 
Today is “Amnesty International Day.”  Amnesty** International helps to free wrongly convicted political prisoners worldwide.

Trivial Fact of the Day:   Since 1945 all British tanks have come equipped with tea making equipment.  Would you celebrate tea time in a tank?

Interesting Quote of the Day:  “War does not determine who is right, only who is left .”  --Bertrand Russell (British Philosopher)

**Vocabulary Word of the Day:  amnesty  (noun) – an act of forgiveness for past offenses.  Can parents grant amnesty to their children for bad behaviors, or is it just for actual prisoners? If parents could, for what past offense(s) would you like to be granted amnesty?

Wonderful Wednesday!!!
