On this day in 1974 President Richard Nixon refused to hand over tape recordings and documents that had been subpoenaed by the Senate Watergate Committee. Marking the beginning of the end of his Presidency; Nixon would resign from office in disgrace eight months later.

Ol' Richard gave us a 48% pay raise in 1971. Base pay for a private went from about $48 take home every two weeks to $94.
 
Happy Birthday!!!
On this day in 1974 I was a young field arty LT sitting somewhere in the world with enough "stuff" to take out most of Russia. It was the 'wonderful' days of the cold war. Vietnam was still hot and many of the guys I was with use to take R&R in Baghadad. Go figure.
 
On any day in 1974 I was just a thought to my parents, as I wasn't born for about 4 more years....
