Also, when we think about the significance of April 18th, none of us should ever forget that on April 18, 1025, Bolesław Chrobry was crowned in Gniezno, becoming the first King of Poland.

It's also the anniversary of the Doolittle raid on Tokyo in 1942 and the death of Yamamoto Isoroku, the Japanese admiral who orchestrated the Pearl Harbor attack, at the hands of US airmen over Bougainville in 1943.

I didn't know that, Fiji Hill.   They were both very significant dates then, in the "War on Japan".
