1877
The first Westminister Dog Show was held!
Apparently, this annual “dog show” was the inspiration for one of the greatest movies ever made:
1945
V-E Day!
The Allied Forces had achieved victory in Europe with the unconditional surrender of Germany!
1959
Mike and Marian Ilitch founded “Little Caesars Pizza Treat” in Garden City, Michigan
He wanted to name the restaurant “Pizza Treat” but she thought that was boring, so they named it after her nickname for him: “my little Caesar”
1961
New Yorkers selected a new name for their new National League baseball franchise.
They chose the Mets.
1984
Joanie and Chachi got married on Happy Days!
This was also the final episode of the legendary show!
1999
Nancy Mace became the first female cadet to graduate from The Citadel military college
She has a lot going on these days!
and then lastly…
2008
The Olympic torch reached the summit of Mount Everest!
It was carried up the mountain by a team Chinese climbers, before the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics
Awesome!
