HISTORY MOMENTS The Idaho State Historical Society reports that during this week in history: Idaho's then-largest and finest food store—Albertson's Food Center at 16th and State in Boise—celebrated its grand opening on July 21, 1939. Today Albertson's, Inc. employs over 200,000 people at nearly 2300 stores in 31 states. On July 20, 1969, Apollo 11 astronauts Neil Armstrong and Edwin E. Aldrin, Jr. became the first men to walk on the moon. Four days later, the astronauts splashed down safely in the Pacific Ocean. Mormon leader Brigham Young and his followers arrived in the valley of the Great Salt Lake in present-day Utah on July 24, 1847. While prospecting for Snake River fine gold on his ranch below Milner July 24, 1930, Clifford Starrey noticed a deposit of old muskets, traps, and other fur trade equipment that had been submerged there for a century or more. These artifacts were donated to the Idaho State Historical Society eleven years later. Research indicates that they most likely belonged to a party of John Jacob Astor's Pacific Fur Company whose canoe was lost in 1811 when it smashed into a rock by where the relics were found. On July 25, 1866, Ulysses S. Grant became the first American officer to hold the rank of General of the Army. President Harry Truman signed The National Security Act on July 26, 1947, creating the National Security Council, the Department of Defense, the Central Intelligence Agency and the Joint Chiefs of Staff. One year later, he signed executive orders that prohibited discrimination in the U.S. armed forces and federal employment.
