Celebrating the 60th anniversary of D-Day (from 2004) this month, we wanted to honor the men and women that risked their lives on a day that will live within the annuals of history forever. For those of us that were not there, we will never be able to imagine or understand the visual, physical and emotional horrors endured by so many brave individuals.

grandson. The old man's hands trembled, his eyesight was blurred, and his

hands and failing sight made eating difficult. Peas rolled off his spoon onto
the floor. When he grasped the glass, milk spilled on the tablecloth.

And every June, 2, since 1938, we celebrate it - the donut or doughnut - on National Donut Day in the US. The first-ever National Donut Day was celebrated in Chicago in 1938 as a tribute to the Donut Lassies, according to the Salvation Army, which champions the day. Researching the origins of the donut and Donut Day, there are some interesting facts.

Donuts are nothing new. “Cakes mingled with oil, of fine flour” was mentioned back in Leviticus as an acceptable offering to God.
