On this page, we celebrate the resiliency, leadership, and exploratory spirit represented by the historic events of November 11. We honor the bravery of women who served in the Vietnam War, as we remember the dedication of a significant sculpture in their honor in 1993 at the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. We also commemorate the pioneering spirit of NASA, which on this day in 1966 launched the final mission of the Gemini program, a pivotal step towards landing a man on the moon.
Alongside these momentous events, we also honor the birthdays of several iconic figures born on November 11. Daniel Ortega, a Nicaraguan politician who spent his early years in the United States, has been serving as the President of Nicaragua since 2007. His leadership and political astuteness continue to shape his nation. Leonardo DiCaprio, born on this day in 1974, is an acclaimed American actor, film producer, and environmental activist, known for his riveting performances in films like 'Titanic', 'The Departed', and 'The Revenant'. And we celebrate the birthday of Barbara Boxer, a retired American politician who served in the U.S. Senate representing California from 1993 to 2017, making significant contributions to her state and country.
In honor of these vibrant personalities and historic events, we have curated a unique list of canine names. These names aim to capture the essence of bravery, leadership, exploration, and creativity, serving as daily reminders of the inspiring figures and events associated with November 11.
