Last week of July

The last week of July ( in non election years that is) can be a time that little happens as The Supreme Court has already recessed and Congress and the President have already left or will soon be leaving town. But here are some interesting events
July 26, 1775 Benjamin Franklin is named the first postmaster general by the First Continental Congress. In 1788 New York finally ratifies the Constitution the 11th state to do so. The FBI was founded in 1908 and Truman in 1947 finalized the creating of the CIA, National Security Council and the Department of Defense and then on the same date in 1949 issued an executive order ending segregation in the military.
July 27, 1953 the armistice ending the the Korean War was signed.
In 1932 July 28 Hoover order the "Bonus Army" to be evicted which was probably another nail in the coffin that led to his defeat in November.
July 30 going way back to 1609 the colonist in Jamestown form the American representative assembly and in 1956 "In God We Trust" became the official US motto
