National Mother Goose Day! Today we commemorate nursery rhymes. Mother Goose is the imaginary author of a collection of fairy tales. She is depicted in literature and book illustrations as an elderly country woman in a tall hat and shawl.

Law Day! In 1958, U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower established this first day to mark the nation’s commitment to the rule of law. In 1961, Congress initiated this as the official day celebrating Law Day. The American Bar Association highlights a theme relating to law or the legal system.

Silver Star Banner Day! Today has become a representation of the Armed Forces members and veterans who have been wounded or became ill in combat in the wars fought by the United States. In 2010, the U.S. Congress declared this day.
