Confederate Heroes’ Day is observed on April 26 annually in many southern U.S. states. The day is set apart to commemorate all the soldiers who lost their lives fighting for the confederacy in the American Civil War. It is a day for ruminating on the sacrifices and achievements of the confederate soldiers who did all they could to stand for what they believed in. These men will forever live in the memories of all southerners for their heroic struggle. We understand why this is so and join the former confederate states to immortalize their lost sons and daughters.
International Delegate’s Day
International Delegate’s Day is commemorated on April 25 every year. It recognizes delegates who are a key part of the United Nations. Without them, the U.N. wouldn’t exist. As representatives of their governments, U.N. delegates are committed to the spirit of multilateralism. They all work together under the United Nations to help solve problems worldwide. Delegates participate in discussions at the U.N. General Assembly and other international forums. They vote, but their votes aren’t counted unless a head of state or government is in attendance. The delegates were chosen by their governments. Because of this, they have to act in their country’s best interests.
East Meets West Day
East Meets West Day is observed on April 25 in remembrance of the historical events in 1945 when American soldiers met with the Soviet forces at Torgau along the River Elbe in Germany. This marked one of the first steps towards the formal takeover of Berlin from the Axis Forces. While the Americans and Soviets were on the same side in the Second World War, they had been averse to meeting directly for various political reasons. However, their first physical contact was a display of cooperation that helped to bring the war to an end.
