It's funny that North America and Europe have different days for going to daylight savings time. We did this about two weeks ago.

Draft Status, Vietnam War
A man, born just after 12:00 a.m. DST, circumvented the Vietnam War draft by using a daylight saving time loophole. When drafted, he argued that standard time, not DST, was the official time for recording births in his state of Delaware in the year of his birth. Thus, under official standard time he was actually born on the previous dayâ??and that day had a much higher draft lottery number, allowing him to avoid the draft.
Go Iowa!
