On March 29, 1886, Coca Cola was first made here. Lose the polar bears, boys.
It's unknown if this is being celebrated by Atlanta's most notorious resident, Lt. William Calley. Troops under Calley's command shot up a village in Vietnam, and he was duly convicted of murder for that. Georgia's then Governor Jimmy Carter was outraged over this conviction, and led a state wide protest. Maybe Calley can build a house with you, or go visit Hugo Chavez, Mr. President.
Also today in 1911, the U.S. Army made the unexpectedly wise decision of adopting the Pistol, caliber .45, Automatic, Model 1911. This is perhaps the most spectacularly successful decision that the Army ever made. Then again, it's never safe to bet against John Moses Browning (PBUH). Just sayin'.
