National donut day

National donut day.

This may seem like a ridiculous subject but it has a meaning behind it. People celebrate a day like this because in WW1 soldiers were feeling home sick so some people had an idea. It was to make donuts to lift the soldiers spirits. Two volunteers by the names of Ensign Margaret Sheldon and Adjutant Helen Purviance decided to make donuts. It wasn't that easy because of the war there were limited ingredients flour, sugar and oil. It wasn’t that easy without rolling pins and cookie cutters. The soldiers would line up for hours on end just to get the taste of home. When the girls first started they produced only 150 as they got better they produced 9000. From this day on soldiers still carry this on. On the 2nd june using the exact same recipe the soldiers used!
