Daily Event for January 24, 2015

Fifty years ago today on January 24, 1965 one of the greatest statesmen to ever live passed into eternity. Sir Winston Leonard Spencer Churchill, former Prime Minister and the man who led the Britain through the dark days of the Second World War, died from the effects of a stroke. There is nothing I can write about this giant of a man that has not already been written, and I will not try. It is enough to say he was one of the most accomplished and impressive figures ever live.
