November 28 holds a significant place in history, marked by a multitude of impactful events that have influenced the world across various fields. One of the most notable events on November 28 occurred in 1943, during World War II, when the Tehran Conference began. This landmark meeting brought together the leaders of the Allied Powers: Franklin D. Roosevelt of the United States, Winston Churchill of the United Kingdom, and Joseph Stalin of the Soviet Union.

Rusty Wheat, a one-man cleanup crew and outspoken advocate against roadway litter, is one of those volunteers taking action and making a difference in his community.
