I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands, One nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.
Science and Information
I was surprised to find out that SOCIAL MEDIA DAY has been around since 2010. Remember My Space? Make sure and e-mail, post, pin, tweet and interact with everything that is on-line today.
Look to the skies for NATIONAL METEOR WATCH DAY. Find a good spot for viewing, wait a few minutes until your eyes adjust, and search the heavens for a shooting star streaking across the night sky. Using your peripheral vision gives better results. Don’t forget to make a wish.
Today’s Fashion Trends
NATIONAL OOTD DAY is for all of you fashion trendsetters. OOTD stands for Outfit of the Day, so pick out one that reflects who you are and shine!
Convention and Construction
NATIONAL LOG CABIN DAY celebrates the humble beginnings of our country. The Swedish were the first to build these structures on U.S. soil and 7 of our Presidents were born in log cabins. These natural structures are still being built today and make for some beautiful houses.
For Fun
NATIONAL CORVETTE DAY celebrates the epitome of American ingenuity. Coming at us from Flint Michigan, originally, and now Louisville, Kentucky, these fast-moving vehicles will always turn heads.
