Loyalty Day in the United States is celebrated on May 1st
Loyalty Day in the United States is celebrated on May 1st every year. It was officially established in 1958 by President Dwight D. Eisenhower as a way to promote patriotism and loyalty to one's country. Originally conceived as a response to anti-communism during the period known as the Second Red Scare in 1921, Loyalty Day replaced International Workers' Day, associated with the labor movement, as a date of celebration. It is marked by presidential proclamations, parades, and local patriotic events highlighting the nation's history and core values.
