Daily Edition
Official observances, world days, local context, and everyday celebrations for people who need something worth reading, sharing, or talking about today.
A day for the universal mystery of laundry, missing pairs, household systems, and the small comic defeats of domestic life.
The anniversary of the founding of the Lao People's Army in 1949. The day is observed with military ceremonies and the reminder that the army is the guardian of the revolution. The Lao military is small (about 30,000 active personnel), but it is one of the most important institutions in the country, and the military leadership is closely tied to the political leadership.
