Loyalty Day History
May 1st is a special day for people to reaffirm their loyalty to the United States and to recognize the heritage of American Freedom. First observed in 1921 as “Americanization Day” to counterbalance the labor movement’s May Day celebrations.
On May 1, 1930, about 10,000 Veterans of Foreign War member staged a rally at Union Station in New York to promote patriotism. May 1 later evolved into Loyalty Day through a resolution adopted in 1949.
