In 1921, in the year that Frank J De Groff was born, on November 11th, the first burial was held at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier in Arlington National Cemetery.

Did you know?
In 1938, Frank was 17 years old when on October 30th, a Sunday, The Mercury Theatre on the Air broadcast Orson Welles' special Halloween show The War of the World's. A clever take on H.G. Wells' novel, the show began with simulated "breaking news" of an invasion by Martians. Because of the realistic nature of the "news," there was a public outcry the next day, calling for regulation by the FCC. Although the current story is that many were fooled and panicked, in reality very few people were fooled. But the show made Orson Welles' career.
