3. I like the one from 1778:
"1778: In the Battle of Monmouth during the Revolutionary War, American forces led by General George Washington and aided by a woman known as Molly Pitcher defeat the British."

4. A great day! I got out of the Marine Crotch June 28, 1965.
I can still recall the giant grin I gave the flunkies on the main-gate at El Toro. I would have given them the bird to go with it, but the bastards could still have arrested me.

5. Also on this day
In 1389, the Battle of Kosovo Polje ended in defeat for the Serbs and led to their eventual incorporation into the Ottoman Empire.

In 1914, Bosnian Serb Gavril Princip assassinated heir to the Austrian throne Archduke Franz Ferdinand and his wife in Sarajevo, precipitating the international crisis that led to the First World War.
