NATIONAL Doughnut Day [first Friday in June]
NATIONAL Rocky Road Day
NATIONAL Leave the Office Early Day
Today in legal and military [and occasional oddities] history
1883 The first baseball game under electric lights is played in Fort Wayne, Indiana
1924 The United States grants full citizenship to American Indians
1942 The American aircraft carriers Enterprise, Hornet, and Yorktown move into their battle positions for the Battle of Midway
1953 Elizabeth II is crowned queen of England at Westminster Abbey
That 1924 date is incredible. The folks who were actually born in this country weren't citizens? We have a lot for which to hang our head in shame as a country.
ReplyDeleteThat one surprised me too.
