It began when American spy planes discovered the missiles, leading to a U.S. naval blockade of Cuba and intense negotiations. The crisis ended when Soviet Premier Nikita Khrushchev agreed to remove the missiles in exchange for the U.S. promising not to invade Cuba and secretly agreeing to remove American missiles from Turkey.1963 - I Have a Dream Speech - Martin Luther King's Address at March on Washington August 28, 1963.June 17, 1972 – August 9, 1974 - Watergate Scandal began with the break-in at the Democratic National Committee headquarters at the Watergate office complex in Washington, D.C., in 1972.

November 7, 2011 - Royal Cape Cod Women Vets Friends for Life
By Scott Wahle
Buzzards Bay - When Anita Alence and Millie Feist talk over old times, they’ve got plenty of old times to talk over. The two women, roommates at Royal Cape Cod Nursing and Rehabilitation Center in Buzzards Bay, share almost 70 years of friendship, but they share more than that: each has proudly worn the uniform as a member of the U.S. armed forces.
Brooklyn-born Anita, 90, was a Marine Corps pioneer, enlisting in 1942 at the height of World War II with the very first class of women Marines, and she made it her career for the next 30 years. And Millie, 94, a native of Somerville, joined the Navy in 1943, serving 4 years as a chief specialist.
Millie’s father had been a Navy man in World War I along with his four brothers, so she knew all about that branch of the service. But why enlist?
“I wanted to get in there and do something to better the world,” says Millie.
And Anita?
