Pope Day - For most people, this holiday does more than just make them think about Pope Benedict XVI and those from the past. It makes them think of hope, prayer, forgiveness and the joy of their religion. And even though Pope Day may not be celebrated worldwide, you’ll always find a comrade in Personal Creations, a top retailer of personalized gifts. Today, enjoy an exclusive 20% off all religious gifts care of FabulousSavings’ Personal Creations coupons.

Gunpowder Day - I really have no knowledge about gunpowder itself, so I’ll just skip right to tactical gear… even though I don’t know much about that, either. However, I DO know that Brigade Quartermasters is the place to go for the best prices on top gear, like scopes, vests, boots, knives and more. Check out their list of the Top 100 Deployment Gear Items, and you’ll soon see exactly what I mean.

Army Incompetence Day - Instead of learning from past mistakes, it seems that militaries keep making the same arrogant blunders. Napoleon lost 660,000 of 690,000 troops to the Russian Empire; Hitler started a war on two fronts and lost at Stalingrad; JFK’s Cuban rebels were defeated at the Bay of Pigs; and George W. Bush is not being met with roses and chocolates in Iraq. Until world leaders check their egos at the door, all we can do is equip our troops with the best supplies and hope for their safety. Find the top-100 deployment products at Brigade Quartermasters. Armed with free FabulousSavings coupons, you will get the best prices on the best gear.

Always on the last Sunday of September, this annual event takes place in the shadows of the historic Van Egmond house. While sipping hot cider from local brewers, you can enjoy flea market booths, rope making lessons and rug braiding tutorials.
