Remembering History: I remember this like it was yesterday. 52 Americans were held hostage in Iran from 1979 until 1981 (exactly 444 days). The incident would lead to the deaths of eight American soldiers in a failed rescue attempt, worked to sever the already fragile U.S.-Iranian diplomatic relationship, and was a contributing factor in President Jimmy Carter's defeat to fmr. California Governor Ronald Reagan in the 1980 Presidential election.
