It is National Aviation Day, August 19th. Established by President Franklin D. Roosevelt in 1939. While I wasn’t around back then (lol), at 9 years old, I was already building model airplanes and hanging them from my bedroom ceiling. Fast forward, and I’ve had the incredible opportunity to fly in all kinds of World War II warbirds, biplanes, a jet fighter trainer, and both military and civilian helicopters. Aviation has truly been an amazing part of my life journey!

On this day, July 7th in 1928, sliced bread was first sold, revolutionizing the baking industry! It was promoted as “the greatest forward step in the baking industry since bread was wrapped.” Many of us fondly remember Wonder Bread sandwiches in our lunchboxes.
