After John Lennon and Yoko Ono wed in Gibraltar on March 20, 1969, the couple traveled to Amsterdam for their honeymoon. “We sent out a card: ‘Come to John and Yoko’s honeymoon: a bed-in, Amsterdam Hotel,” recalled Lennon while recording The Beatles Anthology. Lennon was under the impression that the press thought they would “make love in public,” however, the couples intention was to bring attention the the on-going peace talks in Paris between he U.S., South Vietnam, North Vietnam, and the National Liberation Front. Lennon added, “In Paris, the Vietnam peace talks have got about as far as sorting out the shape of the table they are going to sit round. Those talks have been going on for months. In one week in bed, we achieved a lot more." The press was invited to their hotel room on 1969, from 9:00am to 9:00pm for six full days. It was during another week-long bed-in in Montreal two months later that Lennon was inspired to pen his famous ant-war song, "Give Peace a Chance". At her 2015 Museum of Modern Art solo art exhibition in New York, Ono recalled, “John and I thought after Bed-In, ‘The war is going to end.’ How naïve we were, you know? But the thing is, things take time. I think it’s going to happen. I mean, that I think we’re going to have a peaceful world. But it’s just taking a little bit more time than we thought then

resident John F. Kennedy delivers one of his most famous addresses on in 1963. In front of the Berlin Wall that separated the city into democratic and communist sectors, he declared to the crowd, “Ich bin ein Berliner” or “I am also a citizen of Berlin.”
—
Immediately after the war, the city of Berlin was divided into West Berlin, comprised of American, British and French-administered democratic enclaves, and East Berlin, an East German communist-controlled area.
At the time of Kennedy’s speech to West Berliners, the city’s democratic enclave remained tiny by strategically important foothold for democracy within community-controlled Eastern Europe.

On in 1782, General George Washington created the “Badge for Military Merit.” The badge was to be presented to soldiers for “any singularly meritorious action” and permitted its wearer to pass guards and sentinels without challenge. The honoree’s name and regiment were also to be inscribed in the “Book of Merit.”

Washington’s “Purple Heart” was awarded to only three known soldiers during the Revolutionary War. This decoration was largely forgotten until 1927 when General Charles P. Summerall sent an unsuccessful draft bill to Congress to “revive the Badge of Military Merit.” On February 22, 1932 - Washington’s 200th birthday - the U.S. War Department announced the creation of the “Order of the Purple Heart.

One of the worst oil spills in U.S. territory begins when the supertanker Exxon Valdez, owned and operated by the Exxon Corporation, runs aground on a reef in Prince William Sound in southern Alaska on 1989. An estimated 11 million gallons of oil eventually spilled into the water. Attempts to contain the massive spill were unsuccessful, and wind and currents spread the oil more than 100 miles from its source, eventually polluting more than 700 miles of coastline. Hundreds of thousands of birds and animals were adversely affected by the environmental disaster. After litigation and investigations, Exxon eventually paid over $2 billion for habitat restoration and damages related to the spill. One of the outcomes of the spill was to shed light on the importance of preventing environmental disaster and of preserving ocean ecosystems. In 1990, Congress passed the Oil Pollution Act to help safeguard against future disasters.

70-years ago on , armed forces from communist North Korea invade South Korea, setting off the Korean War. The United States, with support from the United Nations, quickly sprang to the defense of South Korea and fought a bloody and frustrating war for the next three years. This invasion was the first military action of the Cold War. —
Korea, a former Japanese possession, had been divided into zones of occupation following World War II. The Soviets assisted in the establishment of a communist regime in North Korea, while the United States became the main source of financial and military support for South Korea.
By July of 1953, the United States and North Korea signed a cease-fire that ended the conflict. The cease-fire agreement also resulted in the continued division of North and South Korea.

On in 1962, movie actress Marilyn Monroe was found dead from a drug overdose in her home in Los Angeles. She was only 36 years old.

On in 1945, President Truman signed the United Nations Charter and the U.S. became the first nation to complete the ratification process and join the international organization. Although hopes were high at the time that the United Nations would serve as an arbiter of international disputes, the organization also served as the scene for some memorable Cold War clashes.

In Washington, D.C. nearly 100,000 people gathered to protest the American war effort in Vietnam on in 1967. Around 30,000 of the protestors marched to the Pentagon to ask for an end to the conflict. The protest was the most dramatic sign of waning U.S. support for President Lyndon Johnson’s war in Vietnam. Polls taken in the summer of 1967 revealed that American support for the war had fallen below 50%.
