... or -on 'whichever of these holidays, awareness-dates &/or event-anniversaries you celebrate!'

Holiday Insights explains the day (devoted to the advertising-phrase about how people #salute when you 'run things up the flagpole' for them) in a report linked through 'that word' below; but first I want to understand that word better. And I find you understand words better if you look at 'the words at their base' (then going on to look at the words at those words' bases, then the words at those words' bases, etc.-etc. ad infinitum)
The word “Salute (or #Saluting #Saluted #Salutes #Salu)” is built on ancient words that mean Safe (Whole, Well-Kept ... the word is linked to "Salutation," but my source doesn't say exactly-how except that they share the same 'ancestors' (like 'they're distant cousins')).

I sometimes get a little 'thrill' from realizing that I have the same birthday as several famous people, and enough other people get that thrill from seeing their birthday-cohort (both the currently-famous & the probably-not-yet famous) that I figure it's worth doing 'one of these entries for every birthday' ...

This Day's Birthday-Cohort

Astrologically, their sign is Capricorn ... no matter WHICH stars they were born under: Isaac Asimov which is why today's also #ScienceFictionDay), Jack Hanna, Roger Miller (who sang "King of the Road," played Alan-a-Dale in Disney's Robin Hood), Cuba Gooding Jr., Tia Carrere, Kate Bosworth

... and many others (most of whom are at the 'Birthday-Cohort' link)---

you might comment telling why we should recognize a special one I missed ...

Or maybe you'd like a reminder of 'where you've seen one of the ones we DO mention'; Ask in your comment!

I haven't gotten my Heart of the Nation calendar (which tells me which celebrations we (Catholics) are celebrating, and which color Vestments the clergy are wearing); so I look at my KCM 2022 Calendar, which tells us that today's the penultimate day of VICTORY FIRST-conference with Kenneth Copeland (Newark, TX) and -the day to read Psalms 1-5 & Proverbs 1:1-19 (if we're sticking to the plan to read the whole Bible in a Year)
