At Kidadl we pride ourselves on offering families original ideas to make the most of time spent together at home or out and about, wherever you are in the world. We strive to recommend the very best things that are suggested by our community and are things we would do ourselves - our aim is to be the trusted friend to parents.
We try our very best, but cannot guarantee perfection. We will always aim to give you accurate information at the date of publication - however, information does change, so it’s important you do your own research, double-check and make the decision that is right for your family.
Kidadl provides inspiration to entertain and educate your children. We recognise that not all activities and ideas are appropriate and suitable for all children and families or in all circumstances. Our recommended activities are based on age but these are a guide. We recommend that these ideas are used as inspiration, that ideas are undertaken with appropriate adult supervision, and that each adult uses their own discretion and knowledge of their children to consider the safety and suitability.
Kidadl cannot accept liability for the execution of these ideas, and parental supervision is advised at all times, as safety is paramount. Anyone using the information provided by Kidadl does so at their own risk and we can not accept liability if things go wrong.
The day is nationally observed in the United States of America as a non-public day. A similar holiday is also observed in Newzealand. So, it's safe to say the day is for anyone who has lost someone.
Every citizen of the country observes national Forget Me Not Day as a salute to the returning wounded soldiers from the line of battle.
There are no factual data on when the day began, but it is found that the judge associated with the Disabled American Veteran Organization initiated the day in 1922.
Judge Robert S. Marx created the day associated with the Disabled American Veteran organization to support the wounded returning soldiers who needed extended care after the war.
In 1922, only a few services and organizations existed to provide support and care to disabled veterans, which paved the way to create the Forget-Me-Not Day to raise funds to support veterans.
As the day started as a fundraising campaign through the sale of flowers, keep the tradition alive. Buy a bunch of forget-me-nots and send them to disabled veterans.
What's a better way to thank veterans than to support them? There's always a volunteer program to show your support to veterans and hear their stories.
Most of the public is unaware of the Forget Me Not Day, so this year, take an oath to spread the word on social media about the day using relevant hashtags or share within your friends or immediate circle to bring awareness to this incredible day.
The only way to pay tribute to the day is to thank our disabled veterans and find an organization through which you can send a letter or a care package and share their stories on social media or with your friends.
And another best thing that you can do to observe the day is to support disabled veterans or their family members with finance programs. Or you can also sponsor a companion dog for a veteran with PTSD.
Finally, don't forget to send those blue flowers to your loved ones to tell them they are not forgotten.
A similar event is observed in New Zealand every June 5 and 6 in the name of Forget-Me-Not Day.
National Forget-Me-Not Day is especially important for veterans who have been injured in the great war.
The day should be observed in honor of all the warriors who have put their lives on the line for their country.
The day is initiated for raising funds for disabled soldiers.
