Two Salvation Army canteen workers churn out dozens of doughnuts for Canadian troops stationed in Brighton, England, in 1941. 

Friday marks the 80th National Donut Day. “Doughnut Girls” served along the front lines during WWI and WWII, giving soldiers free coffee and doughnuts to boost morale. 

National Donut Day was created by the Salvation Army in 1938 to raise funds for the organization and to honor the women’s service in the first World War. The commemoration is celebrated annually on the first Friday in June. 

Ray Chavez is the oldest survivor of the attack on Pearl Harbor that launched America’s entry into World War II in 1941.
At 106, the indefatigable veteran has been traveling around the country for years, attending memorial services and commemorations. This week, he met with President Donald Trump in the Oval Office while in Washington for a series of Memorial Day events.
Ahead of the Memorial Day weekend, Chavez reflected on his service, and recounted his experience on the day that President Franklin Roosevelt declared would “live in infamy.”
