Birth Day
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.....
Si Deus pro nobis, quis contra nos?

The Russians invaded Czechoslovakia. Arthur Ashe became the first black guy to win a grand slam tournament and the French were testing nuclear weapons in some remote Pacific area

Re: Birth Day
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. I have never heard of any of the three famous people who share my birthdate, though I did a bit better on the same day different year.
