Well, Kids, some answers we got here to the one question I had asked....
 
1) Next to I don't know, GIVE BLOOD was the best answer in how to save a life without being there....
 
and some of the other response we got with the  rest not in any particular order...
 
2) Cut the postage stamps off of the mail for mommy so she can take them to the church and give them to the lady who takes them to someone else to sell to collectors that donate the money to relief efforts and medical  supplies.  Same with the soup labels mommy told me to do...the missions want them....mommie says to do this because it will help improve or save a life later.  (mommy must be a church member or a missionary!!)
 
3)  Give small supplies to give to another like the care packages that go to the troops...toothpaste, stationary, toothbrushes, soap, deoderant, postage stamps, letters from home or from a child,  tweezers, combs, condoms.....etc...etc..etc
 
4)  Be a good listener and if you cant listen, learn sign language (hmmmm..now theres a good one!)
 
5)  Pray, cuz God is listening...he saved my mommies life once and my Daddy too...
 
6)  Offer moral support to others, lend a hand, lend an ear, lend an eye
 
7)  Plant an extra row in a garden because someone out there is hungry (hmmm...someone of GREAT IMPORTANCE once said that nothing big ever comes out of anything small.........but in this case, I have to BEG to differ!)
 
8)  Make someone smile  (....well, that one, I have not quite figured out in how it will save a life, but I am sure it could go a long way to make someones day a little better...)
 
9)  Give hugs, be kind, love one another, give a volunteer,  policeman or a fireguy
 my teddy bear when he is sad...Don't hit and give carrots to horses...(interesting...this kid is into intervention!!)
 
10)  Post search posters
 
11)  Feed the dog while mommy or daddy is out on a call and listen to the babysitter
 
12)  Make cookies  (I guess this one was in lieu of donuts...!)
 
13) Learn how not to get lost in the first place...(hmmmm, now ISN'T that a good one!)
 
14) Keep learning (like Thor said, KEEP INFORMED)
 
15) Keep ready my equipment to the best of my ability
 
16)  Keep orange juice in the refridgerator...mommy is a diabetic (GOTCHA!!!)
 
17 ) Ask questions....(um what's the speed dial number again to 911?)
 
18)  Don't do drugs and stay sober....
 
19)  Have a good circle of regular friends that you play with so that if you don't show up, they
no your missing  (wow!!  I like that one!!!LOL!)
 
There were more, but I thought these were pretty good!  Gets you to thinking how little things mean a lot.....and how the team gets much  bigger. And Hmmm, out of the mouths of babes and adults, maybe we can all learn how to be team players.

PS - TO Chris P.  well,  and for the sake of my private life and to keep my resume short.... you asked of where I garnered some of my experience...In short, One word...LIFE, but in 50 years and a lot of long hard roads. I have had nearly 40 plus horses of my own 
along with a  bunch of other livestock for for teachers on cuts and bruises to say none the least for all the people and other critters  we have met on the way from kids to school teachers, doctors to lawyers, to vetrinarians, farriers, cops, fireguys, military etc...been in 42 states...been married, still am, close to 20 years same guy.  If I have to list one school, Im going to say the school of hard knocks because simply it  has been one of the toughest and greatest of teachers and a school to which we have yet to graduate.  Of my teachers though, the best in my life was (hoo-rah!) my father (bless is soul) and one of his teachers was the Navy!  (Yep, a naval brat and he was the very best in teaching us kids how to survive.) As for my two "man" TEAM, we have "licked" a few wounds and have gone through a fair shake of crises and disasters...right now the horses on our string
 total 10 including a donkey and a pony, but only three horses are currently of age and rideable. Our prime mount for MSAR  was retired last year due to her age and condition and so right now our status for doing any MSAR is currently inactive due to our young stock
of  rideables lacking in any off the farm experience thus rendering them not road or rode worthy yet
...So Chris, what about you?  And what do you feel is your most important asset.
