I'm It! Again.

By Nichole Giles

There is a new trend in town, and it is called blogger’s TAG. The cool thing about these games is that writers from other blogs often spur them, so we have to keep on our toes.

The last time Tag went around, I had to share five things about myself. This time, all I have to do is go to www.wikipedia.com and type my birthday (minus the year) into the search bar. Next, I pick three historical events that happened on my birthday, two important births, one death, and one holiday or observance. This is going to be fun!

EVENTS:
1810—Napoleon officially makes Holland part of his empire

1868—The 14th amendment to the United States Constitution ratified guaranteeing African Americans full citizenship and all persons in the United States due process of law.

1944—World War II—Battle of Normandy: British and Canadian forces capture Caen, France
