In 1901, in the year that Sam Starnes was born, Edward VII succeeded Queen Victoria. Queen Victoria of England had become Queen in 1837 and reigned until her death in 1901. Her 63 year reign was the longest in history prior to Elizabeth II who recently broke her record.

Although the Act was supposed to be temporary, it stayed in effect until 1965.

Greece, Turkey, and West Germany later joined. Today, there are 26 nations in NATO.

In 1967, at the age of 66 years old, Sam was alive when between June 5th and 10th, Israeli and Egypt, Jordan, and Syria fought what came to be called the "Six-Day War".

It ended with Israel occupying the Sinai Peninsula, Golan Heights, Gaza Strip and West Bank.
