Regional/Cultural Day
Moon Landing Day
On July 20, 1969 two Americans stood on the moon and phoned home from 238,000 miles away. Neil Armstrong took one step and said something that has been quoted every single day since. The whole world watched and for about four minutes everyone was on the same team.
Regional/Cultural Day
Moon Day
On July 20, 1969, Neil Armstrong stepped onto the lunar surface. In Huntsville, Alabama (where the Saturn V rocket was developed), this is a civic holiday. In Houston (where Mission Control is located), they say "Houston, we have a day." The Apollo program employed 400,000 people and cost $25 billion. The technology in your phone is more powerful than the computers that sent men to the moon. But they did it with slide rules and duct tape and the kind of audacity that only America could muster in 1969.
Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of Bosnia and Herzegovina Day
You encounter Eurasian lynx, Balkan chamois, and grey wolves as the distinctive wildlife native to Bosnia and Herzegovina. You keep dogs, cats, and rabbits as the most common pets in Bosnian and Herzegovinian homes. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.

Brands of Timor-Leste Day
You recognize Timorese coffee, particularly from the Maubisse region, which produces distinctive arabica beans valued for their earthy, complex flavor and grown on volcanic soil.
