Regional/Cultural Day
Animals of New Zealand Day
You encounter the kiwi bird, Tuatara, and yellow-eyed penguin as New Zealand's unique endemic species found nowhere else on Earth. You see that dogs and cats are the most beloved pets, with rabbits and native birds like tuis also commonly kept. ACADA celebrates the world's pets, and helps assure better care.
Regional/Cultural Day
Coast Guard Day
The Coast Guard was founded on August 4, 1790. It is the smallest of the five armed forces and the one most Americans forget. The Coast Guard rescues an average of 22 people per day. They do this in every kind of weather, in every kind of water, with equipment that is older than the people operating it. They do not make movies about the Coast Guard. They should.
