Today being my birthday, I thought I would share a brief history of this day. With the help of The History Channel website and my own life experiences, I have come up with a list. Some of the events are really important, others aren't so much, but they're still fun!
Interested in what happened on your birthday? Also check out "The Timetables of History." An earlier edition was one of my textbooks my junior year of high school and it was amazing.
