Born in DeWitt, Michigan in 1995, Jordyn Wieber celebrated her birthday today. As part of the Fierce Five, she won gold in gymnastics at the 2012 London Olympics. Wieber later courageously spoke out against abuse by USA Gymnastics doctor Larry Nassar, contributing to the team receiving the Arthur Ashe Courage Award in 2018. Also on this day in 1974, the Michigan National Guard welcomed its first female members, with four women from Flint joining in a historic move.
