Miracle

February 22nd... Today would have been my parents' 56th wedding anniversary. It's also the 40th anniversary of the Miracle on Ice. On February 22nd, 1980, the United States Olympic hockey team defeated the Soviet Union in a stunning upset. I remember I was at my grandparents' house in Mt. Healthy because my parents were out to dinner to celebrate their anniversary. Two days later the Americans defeated Finland to win the gold medal in Lake Placid, New York. The victory over the Soviet Union still resonates with our nation today. It os quite arguably one of the greatest moments in American sports history.
