Crown Battery and Eagle 99 WFRO are counting down to America's 250th birthday! Each week until July 4th of 2026, we will be sharing historical highlights on-air and online as we prepare for this momentous occasion 🇺🇸
From December 8th through December 14th, history delivered some memorable moments: Martin Luther King Jr. received his Nobel Peace Prize in 1964, smallpox was officially declared eradicated by the World Health Organization in 1979, and former Beatle John Lennon was shot and killed outside his New York City apartment in 1980. Pennsylvania became the second state to ratify the US Constitution in 1787, George Washington, the first president of the United States, passed away in 1799, and UNICEF was established in 1946.
These historical highlights were also brought to you by Ottawa County Veterans Service Office, Snyder's Floor Covering Outlet, and Fricker's Fremont 🦅
