Three days ago we took to this blog’s “pages” to sing the praises of our great neighbors to the north. But, of course, there is one land we hold even more dear; our own.
Saturday, June 6, marks the 71st anniversary of D-Day; the day 150,000 Allied troops stormed the beaches of Nazi-occupied Normandy, France, and turned the tides of World War II irreversibly.
Today (Monday) is Memorial Day, in PeekYou’s homeland of America. On this day of remembrance, we would like to take a moment to honor all those who made the ultimate sacrifice in defense of our freedoms.
In the United States, each third Saturday in May is Armed Forces Day; established in 1950 by President Harry S. Truman to “thank our military members for their patriotic service in support of our country.”
While the official federal holiday being observed today is the birthday of George Washington — the “father of our country”; first President of the United States, and commander-in-chief of the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War — most people refer to today as Presidents Day.
On February 12, 1809, two extremely important men were born; one in a log cabin in the wilds of Kentucky, the other in a big, fancy house in Shrewsbury, England.
On this Veterans Day, PeekYou would like to take a moment to deeply and sincerely thank all of the brave men and women who have served and defended our country in one of the branches of the U.S. military.
According to the United States Coast Guard, a “hydro-pod bubble runner” and peace activist had to be rescued on Saturday morning as he attempted to travel from Florida to Bermuda in an inflatable, human-powered bubble.
Louis Zamperini, Olympic runner and World War II POW, whose incredible story gained wide recognition due to the best-selling 2010 biography Unbroken: A World War II Story of Survival, Resilience, and Redemption, has died. He was 97.
