Happy Birthday to you both! My sister and her husband also celebrate their birthdays one day apart - they're both Gemini's, and I've always been fond of telling their daughter that she's lucky because she has "4" parents instead of just two! Many happy returns of the day to you both.

Anne

Thanks Anne! We're both Geminis, too, and my husband actually is a real twin, with an identical brother. He was best man at our wedding and it took me all day to remember that it was HIS birthday, too! Doh!

Saved civilization? Prompted by the former post.

I rather think that what happened 75 years ago today is worthy of a civilization saving comment. In my opinion.

On this day in 1950, the Korean War , also known from the Korean perspective as the Fatherland Liberation War, began with a pre-emptive attack from Kim Il-Sung's forces after repelling Rhee's incursions.
The ensuing war would cost about 4 million lives.
