Wright Brothers Day is an annual United States national observation. It is codified in the US Code and Wright Brothers Day commemorates the first successful flights in a heavier than air, mechanically propelled airplane, that were made by Orville and Wilbur Wright on December 17, 1903, near Kitty Hawk, North Carolina.

The Wright brothers were American brothers, inventors and aviation pioneers.

Orville Wright ( August 19, 1871 – January 30, 1948 )

Wilbur Wright ( April 16, 1867 – May 30, 1912 )

The Congress, by a joint resolution approved December 17, 1963, as amended (77 Stat. 402; 36 U.S.C. 143), has designated December 17 of each year as “Wright Brothers Day” and has authorized and requested the President to issue annually a proclamation inviting the people of the United States to observe that day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

McCullough is a genius. What stuck with me most from it was the Wright’s tenacity, but also when someone asked their father how much money was enough (they became affluent but not amazingly rich) he said “Enough that you are not a burden on anyone else”... Every American should have that as their goal.
