=  INTERNATIONAL KALEN DAY  =

Origin.
The first International Kalen Day started on the night of May 14th, 2004. Nobody knew it yet, but the residents of Eastern Massachusetts where about to celebrate the 2nd youngest holiday to date. (The first is the Independence of South Sudan .) People celebrate this day because it was the day Sir Kalen lead the U.S. army against an unknown alien force. All that was known about them is that they were a hazard to humankind. Without any doubt, this was the longest night in American history. At about 11:30 that night, the alien force was defeated. It was unknown how they did it, but they did. To celebrate the salvation of Earth and American pride, Every May 14th is a day to remember what happened the night that could've destroyed the Earth, but saved it.

History of International Kalen Day
Kalen Day has had some struggles in its 13 years of existence. Back in 2008, International Kalen Day got mixed in with National Kale Day. The problem was the holiday wasn't recognizable enough. So Walmart stepped in and added the Kalen Day clothes line and a special toys sale from may 10th to 20th 2009. Sales bursted and Walmart thrived against Kmart, which closed down 4 years later.

In 2013, Kalen Day was ranked 6th on Schneider's Top Ten summer holidays to celebrate in that year.
