More (and Some Obscure) Holiday Information...


King Kamehameha
Originally uploaded by Hotpasta.
  • First Saturday in June: National Trails Day from the American Hiking Society (includes a handy trail finder, searchable by zip code)
  • June 6: D-Day, a companion to the PBS series (includes letters GIs sent home describing the invasion). See also the D-Day Museum online (includes information about the Overlord Embroidery, a tapestry that records the invasion as a sort of modern Bayeux Tapestry)
  • June 7: Boone Day commemorates the first time Daniel Boone saw Kentucky, from the Library of Congress American Memory Project's Today in History feature
  • June 11: King Kamehameha Day (which in addition to being a lot of fun to say, is an important holiday in Hawaii)
