If there's one thing I hate, it's pompous dead guys. There is so much to be said about how you can't be respected until after you die. THEN, you have to wait about 200 years before you can be fully appreciated for your contributions to the world. Personally, I don't mind being uncredited, undiscovered, and unseen. The Falcon will still soar upwards on the currents of tomorrow.
However for your edification here are some notable events that occurred on this day in history. Hopefully you'll appreciate their impact.
