October 25th News Topics

Today is October 25th which, as we all know, is an extremely important day in history. Today is the day that a bunch of misinformed British cavalrymen charged into the Russian lines to be slaughtered. While that event itself may not be that big of a deal, really, outside of military academies, it spawned one of the greatest poems of all time from Alfred Lord Tennyson and lead to one of the greatest Iron Maiden songs of all time, The Trooper. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uq6Ax-zzkQ
