      Hopelessly trapped at Yorktown, Virginia, British General Lord Cornwallis surrenders 8,000 British soldiers and seamen to a larger Franco-American force on October 19, 1781, effectively bringing an end to the American Revolution.

      For me, On this date October 19th of 2023 I donated my left kidney to my uncle and saved his life. An amazing experience that I'll never forget!!
