National Doughnut Day 2022


Every year, the first Friday of June is National Donut Day. Although today there are donuts in any part of the world, for they are a typical product of the United States. The manufacturers give the donuts to their customers for free or with freebies.

 History of National Doughnut Day

Tradition has it that this day is actually a tribute to the women volunteers of the Salvation Army.

During the First World War, donuts were given to soldiers to give them a little joy with a nostalgic product of their country and their family.

 

Donut Day dates back to World War II, when a doctor named Morgan Pett gave a lieutenant general a donut.

After that gesture, the lieutenant raised funds to replicate this action with soldiers put into battle. But it was not until 1938, when this celebration became official.

 Celebration of National Doughnut Day

Currently, international donut chains commemorate this fact by giving away donuts to the public.

For example, Dunkin' Donuts invites the public to take her favorite donut with the purchase of another product and Krispy Kreme is not far behind with her dozen glazed donuts and a free coffee.

-
The visit of H.H Sheik Khaled bin Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi to India is more than just a mere ceremonial occasion; this visit stands as a clear testimony of the longevity and dynamism of UAE-India relations. This association has become complex over time involving not just the economy but also major concerns such as sustainable development, trade, climate action etc. The dynamic relationship between the two nations has been redefined from their historical links into contemporary strategic alliances which makes this visit a natural follow-on from long-standing ties.
