National Sunglasses Day was established by the Vision Council of America to promote UV-protective eyewear — ultraviolet radiation is a leading cause of cataracts, the world’s most common cause of preventable blindness. Helen Keller Day marks June 27, 1880, the birthday of Helen Keller, who lost sight and hearing at 19 months from an illness and went on to earn a bachelor’s degree, write 14 books, and become one of the most influential advocates for disability rights in history. Djibouti Independence Day marks June 27, 1977, when the Republic of Djibouti gained independence from France — a country of fewer than one million people whose strategic port at the mouth of the Red Sea hosts military bases from the U.S., France, Japan, and China. Decide to be Married Day was created to encourage couples to make intentional commitments and to honor the decision to marry as a meaningful choice. Shades, determination, a strategic port, and a ring.
