SUMMARY:Coast Guard Day
DESCRIPTION:Coast Guard Day is held each year on August 4th to recognize and honor the efforts of The United States Coast Guard. This celebration is considered an “internal” event for active and reserve Coast Guard members\, plus their civilian employees and retirees and members of the Coast Guard Auxiliary. \nThe Coast Guard still participates in Armed Forces Day and Armed Forces Week\, but unlike their other military counterparts\, they still have their own individual day to celebrate the accomplishments of this branch of the United States Military. The other four branches had their days (Air Force Day\, Army Day\, Navy Day\, and Marine Corps Day) consolidated into Armed Forces Day.

SUMMARY:Air Force Day
DESCRIPTION:Air Force Day is a celebration of airpower in the aftermath of WW II.

The Air Force Birthday is celebrated on September 18th each year.

SUMMARY:D-Day
DESCRIPTION:On June 6\, 1944\, Allied soldiers bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy\, France. The Normandy beaches were chosen because of the range of air cover\, and it was the shortest distance from Great Britain.  Five landing beaches were selected for the assault: Utah\, Omaha\, Gold\, Juno and Sword beaches. As dawn broke\, the largest armada ever assembled began its assault on the beaches of Normandy. By the end of the day\, the Atlantic Wall\, (which took the Germans years to build)\, had fallen and the invasion was a success. The events of D-Day forged partnerships and reinforced trans-Atlantic bonds that remain strong today.

SUMMARY:Former POW Recognition Day
DESCRIPTION:Former POW Recognition Day is a day that\, while not as well-known as National POW/MIA Recognition Day\, is just as important. The word “former” is the key to remembering the major difference between these two events honored every year on their respective days. The late Senator John McCain is a former POW. His memory and the memories of many others who came home from POW camps are on the minds of those who observe both holidays. And there are troops still unaccounted for to this day who should be remembered in the same manner as those who came home.

SUMMARY:Minnesota Medal of Honor Day
DESCRIPTION:On March 25th of each year\, Minnesota and the nation observes Medal of Honor Day.  On a national level it wasn’t until March 25\, 1991\, when Congress declared as a day to “foster public appreciation and recognition of Medal of Honor recipients.” The date of March 25th is the anniversary of the first presentations of a Medal of Honor during the Civil War in 1863. \nIn 2009\, the Minnesota House passed HF433 / SF236\, which designated March 25 as Medal of Honor Day. Sponsored by Rep. Mike Obermueller (DFL-Eagan) and Sen. Jim Carlson (DFL-Eagan)\, the bill honors Minnesotans who have received the Congressional Medal of Honor\, which was first presented on that date in 1863. The bill passed unanimously in the House and Senate.
