National Go For Broke Day
-- The infantry's motto,
Go for Broke,was derived from a Hawaiian pidgin phrase used by gamblers risking all of their money on a single roll of dice, according to Know Your Phrase. Although many use the phrase in reference to risk-taking or gambling, the connection to U.S. Army Asian-Pacific Medal of Honor Recipients is rarely made.
National Raisin and Spice Bar Day
-- The perfect time to reminisce back to the aromas of your grandmother's kitchen, and those delectable treats which would emerge. Sometimes comfort foods come in the form of raisins and spice fresh from the oven. Dig through those old family recipes for Raisin and Spice Bars, then make a few scrumptious batches to keep the tradition alive. #RaisinAndSpiceBarDay
National Read a Road Map Day
-- The earliest road map was the Britania Atlas, which drawn by cartographer John Ogilby in 1675. Today is a great day to either plan or take a road trip using a route planned on a traditional road map. If the weather is not conducive, learning little tricks of the United States road system can be fun and educational, most Atlas' have pages of travel information.
Helen Keller's Miracle (1887)
-- Anne Sullivan went to Tuscumbia, AL, in March 1887 to teach the
unteachabledeaf and blind Helen Keller. Although Keller was resistant, Sullivan was determined, and after only one month she succeeded in reaching her: she placed Keller's hand under a gushing water pump and used sign language to spell
w-a-t-e-rinto her palm. Helen grasped the meaning — spelling the word back into Sullivan's palm — and excitedly learned 30 more words that day.
