On this day, we explore pivotal moments that reshaped global conflict and peace: from the launch of Operation Desert Storm in 1991 to El Salvador's historic peace accords in 1992. As we remember these military and diplomatic milestones, we also mark the birth of Dian Fossey, whose revolutionary work with mountain gorillas reminds us that protecting life can demand extraordinary courage - whether on battlefields, at peace tables, or in the misty mountains of Rwanda.
