Hi Joe,
 
Well, all I can tell you is I will be 50 on Aug. 16, but I doubt that's the reason it's in your mind, considering we have never spoken before - LOLOL!
 
However, Elvis Presley did die on August 16, 1977 (on my sixteenth birthday, that stinker...), so maybe you are remembering a trauma from his death a long time ago (that is assuming that you are old enough to remember it.)
 
Other than that, I can't think of anything else about the day.
 
Blessings.
