I think I know what one that Carl will pick.....unless somebody beats him to it.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/December_8
1987 – Cold War: The Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty is signed by U.S. President Ronald Reagan and Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev in the White House.
And they all lived happily ever after.
Mike, I bet you thought I'd pick this one.
1941 – World War II: U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt declares December 7 to be "a date which will live
in infamy", after which the U.S. declares war on Japan.
Carl,
I thought that you would pick this one:
1980 – Former Beatle John Lennon is murdered by Mark David Chapman in front of The Dakota in New York City.
My father enlisted in the army. Later he became a major in the Army Air Corps
Hi pj!
What years did he serve?
Tim's pick:
1943 – Jim Morrison, American singer-songwriter and poet (d. 1971)

"Living on the rooftop of a building inhabited by his old UCLA cinematography friend, Dennis Jacobs, he wrote the lyrics of many of the early songs the Doors would later perform live and record on albums, the most notable being "Moonlight Drive" and "Hello, I Love You." According to Manzarek, he lived on canned beans and LSD for several months."
