Aneurin Bevan (pronounced /əˈnaɪrɪn/; Welsh: [aˈnəɨ.rin]; 15 November 1897 – 6 July 1960), often known as Nye Bevan, was a Welsh Labour Party politician who was the Minister for Health in the post-war Attlee government from 1945 to 1951. The son of a coal miner, Bevan was a lifelong champion of social justice, rights of working people, and socialism. He was a long-time Member of Parliament (MP), representing Ebbw Vale in South Wales for 31 years. He was one of the chief spokesmen for the Labour party's left wing, and of left-wing British thought generally. His most famous accomplishment came when, as Minister of Health, he spearheaded the establishment of the National Health Service, which was to provide medical care free at point-of-need to all Britons. He resigned when the Attlee government decided to transfer funds from the National Insurance fund to pay for rearmament. He subsequently became the leader of the left wing group within the party, which came to be known as "Bevanite". Bevan remains one of Wales's most revered politicians. In 2004, over 40 years after his death, he was voted first in a list of 100 Welsh Heroes, having been credited for his contribution to the Welfare State.

Those of us old enough to remember the TV show, The Jetsons, will know that the series that started in 1962, and was set 100 years into the future, so its first series was set in 2062.
George Jetson, the patriarch of the family, let slip at one stage that he was 40 years old.
So, with just a modicum of maths, one can work out that george would have been born some time in 2022.
Theres a good chance he has already been born, so Happy Birthday George!.

Leonidas had a notable participation in the Second Greco-Persian War, where he led the allied Greek forces to a last stand at the Battle of Thermopylae (480 BC) while attempting to defend the pass from the invading Persian army; he died at the battle and entered myth as the leader of the 300 Spartans. While the Greeks lost this battle, they were able to expel the Persian invaders in the following year.

Were there any real life war heroes in ancient history?

Did Oskar Schindler survive World War II?
He lived till 1974, totally broke and dependent on the support of the ones he saved during the Holocaust.
It was his own wish to be buried in Jerusalem, close to his children, as he called the Jews that he saved. His grave is on Mount Zion in the catholic cemetery there and he is honoured as righteous among the nations.
His gravesite, with the countless stones laid down by Jews.
