By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Immediate Home Solutions

Throughout our life, there comes a time where we don't forget where we were sitting, what we were doing, who we were with, etc.

These are some of those times that happened on a Thursday:

Here are specific Thursdays in history, starting from the 1950s:

1. **October 4, 1957**: The Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the first artificial Earth satellite, marking the beginning of the space age.

2. **November 22, 1963**: The assassination of President John F. Kennedy took place in Dallas, Texas.

3. **August 16, 1977**: Elvis Presley, the "King of Rock and Roll," was found dead at his Graceland home in Memphis, Tennessee.

4. **December 8, 1983**: The United States House of Representatives passed the bill making Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday a national holiday.

5. **September 11, 2001**: The terrorist attacks on the World Trade Center in New York City and the Pentagon in Washington, D.C.

These Thursdays mark significant historical events across different decades.

Good afternoon Jeffrey Richman 

Some interesting history facts that happened on a Thursday. I did not realize that it was in 1977 that Elvis was found dead. Time sure flies by so quickly. Enjoy your Thursday:) Katina

The dates for space travel always catch my attention since nowadays SpaceX sends a rocket up into space once or twice a week, haha.

Hello Jeffrey - I could be wrong, it happens more often than I might think but, I believe September 11, 2001, was a Tuesday.   

I also remember the day Elvis died.  I am not sure the day of the week but there were other things going on around me that remain memorable.  

 

Thanks for helping to keep the brain cells churning.

Hi Michael,

You are correct and I'm wrong.  Sept 11 was on a Tuesday.  I'm not sure how I messed that up.  Thank you for bringing that to my attention
