Birth Day

[TANGODANCER]

Just a small topic for interest sake. I was born on the 14th of September 1939. This, day/date of the year, in our religion (and recorded history) is famous as the date of the finding of the True Cross of Jesus by the mother of Contstantinople under ruins in Jerusalem. September 1939 was also the month World War II began, just two weeks before I was born.Whatever your beliefs, did anything of note happen on your own birthday, religious or otherwise? Tell.....

On my actual birthday (July 23, 1944), the Bretton Woods conference was signed creating the IMF, Himmler started the witchhunt over the Hitler bomb plot, and Soviet troops liberated Madjanek concentration camp finding some hundred survivors and 800,000 pairs of shoes.
