953 nut 60,348 #1 Posted Friday at 11:19 AM Hawaiian Shirt Day is celebrated on the third Friday in August and this year, the day falls on August 15. The celebration marks the official day that Hawaii joined the U.S., making it the fiftieth state in the U.S.A. The day commemorates a long-standing effort to gain statehood for the nation of Hawaii and is also celebrated as National Statehood Day on the island. Hawaii was annexed by the U.S. in the 1800s and for a long time was a territory of the US, its inclusion in the U.S. has since transformed the island, often being punted in massive Hollywood films, Hawaii is the perfect tropical destination for families and thrill-seekers. 6 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

One Friday, the plant manager had called a meeting for the engineering department. He walked into the meeting room, saw our manager in 'proper" attire and the rest of us in colorful Hawaiian shirts. He kind of rolled his eyes, sighed and got the meeting started. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
