text: The best part of being a Seagoing cowboy is helping people. When I became a Seagoing Cowboy, "It was 1945, World War ll was over in Europe, and many countries were left in ruins. To help these countries recover their food supplies, animals, and more, 44 nations joined together to form UNRRA. UNRRA hired "Seagoing Cowboys" to take care of the horses, young cows, and mules that were shipped overseas."
