TODAY IN HISTORY

  • On this day in 1940, Soviet troops massacred about 22,000 Polish nationals. The Katyn massacre is considered the worst massacre of prisoners of war in history. The order to execute all captive members of the Polish Officer Corps was signed by Joseph Stalin.
  • On this day in 1973, the first public mobile telephone call is placed on a Manhattan sidewalk. Motorola’s Martin Cooper called Joel Engel of Bell Labs. He later told the BBC that his first words were “Joel, I’m calling you from a ‘real’ cellular telephone. A portable handheld telephone.”

Love like there’s no tomorrow, and if tomorrow comes, love again. – Max Lucado
