Thanks for the info. I didn't know today was the anniversary!

Sorry, my mistake. In all honesty, I don't remeber or process historical data too well (heck, I goof up a lot on what today's date is, never mind when various historical events took place). I'll give the history part of your forum a read at some point, though.

Yeah, I gotcha.

Sorry I missed this earlier, but yes, they do deserve our tribute to them, especially fans of the film. Without the dogs and the mushers, Nome would have likely become known for a failed town in the 20th century...

But I think, personally, that the most fitting tribute is the Iditarod.

I commend those mushers and dogs who risked their lives to save the people of Nome. God bless them.

Gah, can't believe I missed it! Well, I'm glad some people noticed. Such a courageous event should be honored, whether it be on the anniversary of the event or not. Those involved proved that endurance, bravery, and selflessness can overcome great obstacles.
