November 13 1982:

Near the end of a weeklong national salute to Americans who served in the Vietnam War,
the Vietnam Veterans Memorial is dedicated in Washington after a march to its site by thousands of veterans of the conflict.
The long-awaited memorial was a simple V-shaped black-granite wall inscribed with the names of the 57,939 Americans who died in the conflict,
arranged in order of death, not rank, as was common in other memorials.

Approaching the Colorado foothills of the Rocky Mountains during his second exploratory expedition,
Lieutenant Zebulon Pike spots a distant mountain peak that looks "like a small blue cloud."
The mountain was later named Pike's Peak in his honor.
