Historically this date...
In the
Northern Hemisphere, meteorological
Autumn starts on 20
September. In the Southern Hemisphere, meteorological
Spring starts on this
date.
1881 – Chester A. Arthur is inaugurated as
the 21st President of the United States following the
assassination of James
Garfield.
1973 – Billie
Jean King beats Bobby
Riggs in The
Battle of the Sexes tennis match at the
Houston Astrodome in Houston, Texas.
Riggs was
diagnosed with prostate cancer in 1988. He founded
the Bobby Riggs Tennis Museum Foundation to increase awareness of the disease.
Riggs died of cancer October 25, 1995, in Encinitas, California, aged
77.
In his final days,
Riggs maintained friendly contact with Billie
Jean King, and King phoned him often. She called him shortly before his
death, offering to visit him, but he did not want her to see him in his
condition. She phoned him one last time, the night before his death and,
according to Billie Jean herself in an HBO documentary about
her, the last thing she told Riggs was "I love
you." (Interview with
Billie Jean King, USA US Open telecast, August 28,
2006)
2011 – The United States ends its "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy, allowing gay men and women to serve openly for the first time.
And
births this date include....
Yesterday I soaked and cooked dried garbanzo beans so I
can make hummus.
Also baked some garlic heads for that purpose. I infused
some olive oil with garlic, onion, and red pepper flakes. I had left a
perfectly good ice chest down by my mailbox.... inquired with a few folks to see
if anyone wanted it, but no. So left it there and of course it's gone now!
I moved some things around in the living room, purposely
the cat post/bed... and put it by the front door. The Bruise seems happy about
that, as he can see outside and/or nap. Also, he can't jump from there to the
top of the entertainment center!
And breakfast was a egg sprinkled with bacon salt,
fried, and put on low calorie wheat bread with cheese, tomato, and olive oil
& black cracked pepper mayo.... YUMMMM!
All I know. TGIF. Nuff said. Ciao.

September 20th
POW/MIA Recognition Day
Third Friday of September
POW/MIA Recognition Day is a day of remembrance and
hope for the speedy and safe return of American Prisoners of War, and those
still Missing in Action. It also seeks the return of the remains of fallen
soldiers.
The first official commemoration of POW/MIAs was July 18,
1979. It was the result of resolutions passed in Congress. The first national
ceremony was held on this date. Over the next several years, it was held in
varying dates of the year. Finally, in 1986, The National League of Families
proposed the third Friday in September as a day to recognize and remember
POW/MIAs. This date was selected, as it is not associated with any wars. Each
year, the president of the United States issues a proclamation on this day.
Did you know? Federal law requires the POW/MIA flag
to be flown on the following days:
- Armed Forces Day, May 16
- Memorial Day, May 25
- Flag Day, June 14
- Independence Day, July 4
- POW/MIA Day, 3rd Friday of September
- Veterans Day, Nov. 11
