In 1897, in the year that Fred Kiddoo was born, on September 21st, editor and publisher Francis P. Church responded to a letter to the editor from Virginia O'Hanlon, 8 years old. Virginia's father had told her that "If you see it in The Sun, it's so." So she wrote to the Sun, asking if there was a Santa Claus. Church responded with the now famous editorial "Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus".

In 1918, when he was 21 years old, on November 11th, an armistice was signed between the Allies and Germany, ending the fighting on the Western Front in World War I.

In 1977, in the year of Fred Kiddoo's passing, on January 21st, President Carter pardoned "draft dodgers" - men who avoided the draft during the Vietnam War.
