Loyalty Day

Loyalty Day originally began as "Americanization Day" in 1921 as a counter to the Communists' May 1 celebration of the Russian Revolution. On May 1, 1930, 10,000 VFW members staged a rally at New York's Union Square to promote patriotism. Through a resolution adopted in 1949, May 1 evolved into Loyalty Day. Observances began in 1950 on April 28 and climaxed May 1 when more than five million people across the nation held rallies. In New York City, more than 100,000 people rallied for America. In 1958 Congress enacted Public Law 529 proclaiming Loyalty Day a permanent fixture on the nation's calendar.

I don't recall hearing of this celebration on this day. As a child we always gave out May baskets on May 1st. As I grew older, I recall watching the parade of the communist military in Red Square. I've never seen Loyalty Day represented on a calendar. I know it won't be mentioned by the mainstream media, they'd rather focus on the boycott by the supporters of illegal immigrants. I know I'll be thanking my veteran friends, again, on Monday. I'll also be spending money as I boycott the boycott by supporters of illegal immigrants.
