#HappyBirthday to the #March25 #BirthdayCohort (with @JennySlate & #SirEltonJohn @eltonofficial & ALL the #FamousBirthdays @Bing lists) on #NationalMedalOfHonorDay | @HolidaysCalendr @BirthdayMates @YourTango @MySundayMass
... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'
Holidays Calendar explains National #Medal-of-Honor Day in a report accessed through 'the bold hyperlink(s)' below; but first I want to teach you about those words. And I find you understand words better if you see 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum into their Foundation)
The word “Medal (& #Medallic #Medaled #Medalled #Medaling #Medalling #Medalist #Medallion” is built on either ancient words that mean Metal or -ancient words that mean Middle (Little |Halves, |Denarius-|Coins).

It 'thrills me' a little that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...
This Day's Birthday-Cohort
Astrologically, their sign is Aries (in the wake of Pisces) ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Aretha Franklin, Sir Elton John, Sarah Jessica Parker, racecar-driver Danica Patrick, Jack Ruby, sports-commentator Howard Cosell, Jenny Slate, Hoyt Axton (the dad in GREMLINS), Lark Voorhies (Lisa Marie Turtle (Screech's crush) on SAVED BY THE BELL), Matthew Garber (Michael Banks in Mary Poppins), Aly Michalka (who isn't Kate McKinnon ... supposably), movie-critic Gene Shalit, composer Béla Bartók
... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---
you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...
Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

My Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing) tells us that this day's THE ANNUNCIATION OF THE LORD (a Solemnity in White).
