Hug a GI Day
As an ASVAB tutor, I see the value in appreciating our military men and women. I include military holidays on my website blog. Today, March 4, is Hug a GI Day. National Hug a G.I. Day was created by Adrienne Sioux Koopersmith in 1996. It occurs on March 4 which is said to be the only day of the 12-month calendar which is a complete sentence and an order: “March Forth!”
G.I. is an abbreviation for Government Issue. It typically refers to Army personnel, but this holiday includes the members of all branches. It is a day to remind us to appreciate our military heroes. This day is meant to salute our American military heroes.
