Friday is always the best day of the week. National Donut Day is also on the first Friday of June every year. That means people have a chance to taste all kinds of delicious donuts on that day! The Salvation Army held the holiday to help raise much-needed money for the poor at first. WM
In 1917, volunteers arrived in France to take care of injured(受伤的)World War I soldiers. To comfort the homesick soldiers, the Salvation Army Ensign(少尉) Margaret Sheldon and the fellow officer Helen Purviance used the limited flour, sugar and oil at their camp to make donuts.
The fresh donuts brought much-needed joy to the US soldiers who lined up outside the service house. They often waited patiently for hours in cold weather in order to get their hands on the special treat. The soldiers there received more than 9, 000 donuts each day. In 1938, it was so popular that National Donut Day became an international holiday, which fell on the first Friday of June.
People all over America like celebrating the holiday. Last year, Krispy Kreme and LaMar's Donuts gave free donuts to all of their customers. Many neighbourhood stores also took part in this fun traditional activity.
Though donuts are common food in America, all of the people like the interesting holiday every year.
