Did You Know?

Did you know that today is:

Navy Day may be “unofficial” at headquarters, but it remains relevant to loyal Navy supporters who enthusiastically celebrate the day year after year. Navy Day appears on the calendar exactly two weeks after the United States Navy celebrates its officially observed birthday on October 13. With two days hailing the men and women of the U.S. Navy, the month of October is a big deal for members of the armed forces who serve in the naval warfare branch of the U.S. military.

National Black Cat Day! Black cats need a little positive PR as their reputation as an omen of bad luck is well-known (and unearned, frankly). In the lead-up to Halloween, National Black Cat Day provides the chance for feline fans to show off their love for the oft-maligned, but always iconic animal.

National American Beer Day is observed by beer drinkers across the nation every year on October 27. Though Americans love a good pint of Guinness, a chilled Heineken, or a bubbling Corona, they’ll set aside imports of all kinds on National American Beer Day to instead celebrate distinctly domestic lagers and ales brewed across the country.
