Alvin
C. York Day – On
this day in 1918, Sergeant Alvin C. York was separated from his
patrol unit in France and single-handedly killed 20 enemy soldiers
and captured a hill, 132 enemy soldiers and 35 machine guns. He was
awarded the US Medal of Honor and the French Croix de Guerre. Oddly
enough, he had attempted to evade the draft by way of being a
conscientious objector, but the military didn't allow it.
National Face Your Fears Day – Celebrated on the second Tuesday in October, this is a day to face and overcome whatever you might be afraid of. Do a little self introspection and think about what you are most afraid of and then come up with a way to face it today.
National Fluffernutter Day – You have not lived until you have had a fluffernutter. Peanut butter and marshmallow fluff together in a sandwich. A little bit of heaven in your hand.
Cephalopod
Awareness Day – Established in 2007 by the Octopus News
Magazine Online form. It is a day to appreciate animals with 8 or 10
appendages or arms. This is why the 8th day of the 10th
month was selected for the celebration. It is sometimes known as
Octopus Day.
To
celebrate today, spend the morning figuring out your fears and facing
them. Next, At a lunch of fluffernutter sandwiches, tell your kids
all about Alvin York. This afternoon, go to an aquarium to see the
octopuses, or is that octopusi?
