This day in history.

I'm going to try to add something new to my blog everyday. I'm fascinated with history so each day I will try to add some events that occurred this day in history! I'll still continue to post my comments on our life in general. Let me know what you think of my new addition.

Today in History..

1898 Battle of Manila Bay : first battle of the Spanish American war. Nearly 400 Spanish sailors were killed and 10 Spanish warships were wrecked or captured at the cost of only 6 Americans wounded.

1852 Calamity Jane is born

1967 Elvis marries Pracila..

I liked it, but Elvis? Why not something more like:

1931 Empire State Building dedicated

At the White House in Washington, D.C., President Herbert Hoover pushes a button that turns on the lights of New York City's Empire State Building, officially opening the tallest building erected to that date.

Isn't that more exciting?... Ya, your right, not really.
