Celebrating doughnuts, yum!

Wikipedia tells us that the first Friday of June is National Doughnut Day. In 1938, National Doughnut Day was started as a Salvation Army fundraiser to honor the women of World War I who served doughnuts to the soldiers in France.

Today, some of the doughnut locations here in the US are giving away free doughnuts.

Krispy Kreme Doughnuts is giving away a free doughnut to every customer that visits a participating Krispy Kreme store.

I’ve heard Dunkin’ Donuts is giving away a free doughnut with the purchase of a beverage.

Enjoy!
