He crossed the Delaware w Washington and was injured at Trenton**
Va AandM • 06/29/26 09:44 AM ET
I feel like we've done this one before...**
JoesterVT • 06/29/26 09:13 AM ET
I think so, too but if so, this is a test of memory. Cue Prevagen ad

Well, it's a slight matter of debate.
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 10:05 AM ET
If we are using the date of the peace treaty with GB, then wouldn't that
VTHokie2000 • 06/29/26 11:14 AM ET
That's the day it was ratified...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 11:24 AM ET
True, but it does raise an interesting debate on defining the point in time
VTHokie2000 • 06/29/26 11:33 AM ET
Then Zachary Taylor would be the answer. Nov 24, 1784**
hoosnowahokie • 06/29/26 10:26 AM ET
Oooh, good catch. Missed that one.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 10:29 AM ET
I would consider John Tyler as first. IMO, we weren't independent of GB ..
Atlee Hokie • 06/29/26 10:21 AM ET
Next up, when did WWI really end?**
Va AandM • 06/29/26 10:08 AM ET

Much more obscure.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 10:11 AM ET
Is Kosovo one of them?**
Raleigh Hokie • 06/29/26 10:41 AM ET
Nope. Here they are...
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 10:56 AM ET
Not coincidentally...that's the same date we recognized both of them
VT_Consul • 06/29/26 11:45 AM ET
Kind of a moot point for Niue - it'll probably disappear in 10-20 yrs**
HokieMacDaddy • 06/29/26 11:29 AM ET
Not sure how we functioned on the world stage without them!**
turkeywinghokie • 06/29/26 11:16 AM ET
Yep ... born December 5, 1782, in Kinderhook, New York.**
VTVOICE • 06/29/26 09:25 AM ET
He was mean.**
Chris ColemanAdmin • 06/29/26 09:15 AM ET
And a very close confidant of Andrew Jackson. They seem like an odd pair**
Va AandM • 06/29/26 09:50 AM ET
Spawned the Van Buren Boys**
turkeywinghokie • 06/29/26 09:21 AM ET
That's not the sign... It was when I was banging!**
