In 1918, in the year that A v Kleppe was born, on November 11th, an armistice was signed between the Allies and Germany, ending the fighting on the Western Front in World War I.

In 1952, this person was 34 years old when on July 2, Dr. Jonas E. Salk tested the first dead-virus polio vaccine on 43 children.

In 1962, at the age of 44 years old, A was alive when on October 1st, African-American James H.

In 1971, when this person was 53 years old, in March, Congress passed the Twenty-sixth Amendment to the United States Constitution, which lowered the voting age to 18 (from 21).

The states quickly ratified the Amendment and it was signed into law on July 1st by President Richard Nixon.

In 1995, this person was 77 years old when on October 16th, the Million Man March took place on the National Mall in Washington DC.
