June 6 ... 1944 was a big day for the allied troops as they launched en masse to the beaches of France to push back the Nazis.
Also known as D-Day. It's unimaginable to think about what the soldiers at the time went through, the movies you've seen probably don't do it really any justice.
100 years before that a group was founded in London for the Young Mens Christians Association, a place for establishing healthy bodies, minds and spirits.
Apparently, back then that included skills like drapery and embroidery as well as calisthetics.
