Do you ever wonder how organizations, businesses, and individuals know when a certain observance or awareness month, week, or day is? If so, below is a tailored list of observances for the month of August 2021 specifically for military, Veterans, and LGBTQ+ folx. We may issue graphics for some of the events listed below.
