National Doughnut Day 2009 – Get ‘Em While They’re Hot!

Today is National Doughnut Day 2009...mmm free doughnuts!

The Salvation Army came up with the holiday in 1917 to boost the morale of troops fighting in WWI.

It is always celebrated on the first Friday in June.

Back in the day, these doughnuts were fried in oil using an American soldier's metal helmet.

Dunkin' Donuts and Krispy Kreme outlets both are commemorating the holiday by giving out free doughnuts.

To get your freebee at Dunkin' Donuts, you'll need to buy a drink.  At Krispy Kreme, there are no strings attached.

If you just can't get enough doughnuts, you can also get a $250 Dunkin Donuts gift card here.
