Released from their captivity on January 21, 1981, it has been two months shy of 10,000 days – 9940 days to be exact, since about 300 Islamic terrorists calling themselves students stormed the U.S. Embassy Compound on Taleghani Avenue in Tehran, called at that time “the den of spies.” Some believe that the birthing of the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Embassy takeover marked the beginning of the
