  • 75 years ago today, WWII came to an end on this spot on the deck of the USS Missouri. My grandfather was in his B-29 as part of the show-of-power flyover of Tokyo Harbor.

It was over 50 years ago today
When The Beatles taught the band to play
They've been going in and out of style
But they're guaranteed to make you smile
So may I introduce to you
The act you've known for all these years

Nice.  You were married on my sixth birthday.  You're a brave man, posting pics of your wife on here.  😉

AB is Surly emeritus and he shan't be touched. A fatwa will be called down on anyone who messes with him or his.

A Catholic friend always refers to the kneeler as a bondage bench.

Congrats on 54. I understand the commitment that it takes from the both of you.

Next time you're going through Waco, take a minute and go by the Doris Miller Memorial.  It's pretty badass.

Wow! I remember watching this with my parents after a Dixie League game (we didn't have LL in my hometown).

Today in 1942, the Battle of the Coral Sea begins.  It was the first major naval engagement in history in which no surface ships exchanged gunfire.  While a tactical victory for the Japanese forces, most consider it a strategic loss as Allied forces retained control of Port Moresby.  In addition, the damage caused to the Shokaku, and the massive loss of aircrews from the Zuikaku, caused both carriers to be withdrawn from the Japanese naval forces committed to the Midway invasion.  The Battle of Midway might have looked quite different if Fletcher had been facing six carriers instead of four.

Calvin Coolidge was born today

July 4, 1863 - 1.  Vicksburg, Mississippi falls to Union troops commanded by U. S. Grant, cutting the Confederacy in two and greatly complicating Confederate logistics. 

2.  Confederate troops withdraw from Gettysburg, Pennsylvania after being defeated by Union troops commanded by George Meade the previous day, marking the last serious threat of Confederate invasion of the North. 

There was a lot of fighting left before the Confederacy accepted reality, but after July 4, 1863, the final result of the Civil War was set.

Two events for the day. 

Battle of Ypres kicks off. Short documentary of the destruction of a British Battalion. 

1944 Warsaw Rebellion. Reported as August 1, but Poles say July 31. Have not found a short documentary on it.

Bumping this thread to acknowledge the anniversary of the Challenger disaster happening on this date back in 1986.  Still remember being in 6th grade science class and one of the other teachers coming in to tell my science teacher about what happened.

Also a belated remembrance of Apollo 1 (January 27th) and the upcoming anniversary of the Columbia disaster (February 1st).

I always find it amazing that 3 of the biggest disasters in space program history all happened within the same week on the calendar.

I was in 5th grade and remember an office lady coming in to tell our teacher.
