About National Donut Day
National Donut Day is on the first Friday of June each year. It was begun in 1938 by the Salvation Army to honor the women who served donuts to soldiers during World War I. The holiday celebrates the donut (doughnut), that delicious ring of sugary dough, eaten either plain or with innumerable toppings. Companies offering free donuts for Donut Day include Krispy Kreme and Dunkin Donuts.

About World War I
World War I (World War One) refers to the major European centered war which took place from 1914 to 1918. World War I was fought in the trenches, with thousands of soldiers often dying to gain a few yards of empty ground. New, more deadly weapons and new rules of warfare decimated an entire British generation and caused people to question the meaning of life and all worldly institutions.
