Poland - Flag Day

December 15! The Bill of Rights became law! Yay! (and if the Iraqis don't like their new constitution, they get to vote for another Constitutional Congress on Dec 15, this year if I remember correctly)

How about the Fall solstice? Which occurs on either the 22/23 of September.

(my birthday is on the 23rd)

Feb 11th. At risk of being Carnaval every so often. (Carnaval is technically on the Tuesday befor Ash Wednesday, and I have forgotten the name for this day)

But, much to my shame:
1975: Tories choose first woman leader
The British Conservative Party chooses Margaret Thatcher as its new leader.

and better still from Wiki:

World Day of the Sick

Mine is special because it's today!

Also, it is the same day as Abraham Lincoln's birthday.
