What is the significance of National Donut Day and how is it historically linked to World War I?
National Donut Day has a historical link to World War I through the "Donut Lassies." These were young women who served thousands of donuts each day to American troops during the war. The donuts provided a taste of home and a much-needed morale boost for the soldiers on the battlefield. National Donut Day, celebrated on the first Friday of June each year, recognizes the selfless volunteers who served people in need, and it is observed as a day of appreciation for their efforts and the joy they brought to the soldiers.
