Today in History
・         Abraham Lincoln delivered the Gettysburg Address. (1863)
・         Great American Smokeout Day
The goal of this special day is quite obvious: to get people to quit
smoking, resulting in fewer health problems, and  less cancer and emphysema
deaths resulting from smoking and secondary smoke. Quitting smoking is not
an easy task. The health benefits, and the prospect of a longer life are
crystal clear. The American Cancer Society encourages all smokers to give up
the "butt" today. Join millions of other Americans today and take a big step
to a happier, healthier, longer life.
