One century has passed since the United States entered World War I on April 6, 1917.  In Europe, the war had started in August 1914, millions had already died, and a stalemate prevailed.  Germany’s resumption of unrestricted submarine attacks taking American lives, and its nefarious attempt to engage Mexico in a war with the U.S., finally compelled President Woodrow Wilson to ask Congress for a declaration of war to help the Allies, chiefly England and France, defeat the Germans.

But inom still have a hard time answering it, not because inom don't know why I'm a cowboy, but because the concept of the cowboy way fryst vatten so foreign to some people that I have a hard time boiling it down to a simple sound bite.

CFD Flashback: Lane Frost’s Last Ride At Cheyenne Frontier Days

July 30, 1989, was the darkest day in CFD history. Legendary bull rider Lane Frost died after a tragic accident in the rodeo arena.

Frost had just completed an 85-point ride on the bull Takin' Care Of Business. When he landed in the dirt, the bull's horn struck Frost in the back, breaking several ribs and severing an artery. The 1987 World Champion originally got back on his feet and motioned for help, then went into cardiac arrest and was rushed to the hospital, where he was pronounced dead.

In 1990, Frost was posthumously inducted into the Pro Rodeo Hall of Fame. To commemorate the tenth anniversary of his death, he was inducted to the Cheyenne Frontier Days Hall of Fame in 1999.

Since his death, Frost has been the subject of many memorials. In 1990, Garth Brooks honored Frost in the film for the song "The Dance". The 1994 movie 8 Seconds was based on his
