Discipline – Glazed Donuts/8 Minutes
The National World War I Memorial in Washington, D.C., becomes the site of a truly meaningful celebration. The Salvation Army National Donut Day World Donut Eating Championship returns in honor of service, history, and a deep-fried American classic.
A Tribute in Every Bite: National Donut Day traces its roots to The Salvation Army “Donut Lassies”, who served sweet comfort to American soldiers on the front lines of World War I. As we gather near this solemn memorial, we do more than crown a champion—we remember a legacy of sacrifice, compassion, and resilience.
