caddymanJuly 4th, a memorable day for anyone interested in history.
Today in 1187, Saladin defeated Guy de Lusignan at the Horns of Hattin.
In 1976, Israeli forces, in Operation Thunderbolt, rescued Jewish hostages held by the Baader-Meinhof Gang (Red Army Faction) and the Palestine Liberation Organisation at Entebbe International Airport.
I'm sure that 4 July is famous for something else, too. But that escapes me right now.
