Caren Krutsinger September 13, 2022 at 6:36 AM This is amazing, because many of these are also my most ardent dates. L Milton Hankins September 13, 2022 at 8:32 AM Of course, I don't remember THE day I was born or Pearl Harbor, but I remember anniversaries of them.

Michael Tor September 12, 2022 at 2:48 AM Your choice of dates are significant and are special in one's mind. History of dates will always remind us and those events or event will never be forgotten. Thank you for sharing Milton... L Milton Hankins September 13, 2022 at 8:32 AM Thanks, Michael. I believe dates are very important in our study of American history.

Tom Cunningham September 11, 2022 at 12:47 PM Quite a list Milton, some good, some bad. Tom L Milton Hankins September 11, 2022 at 1:13 PM Well, clearly the best was the day I was born, eh? I think (and I was surprised) it's about 50/50.
