If nothing starts your morning off better than a coffee and a fresh doughnut, you'll love this holiday.  The Salvation Army created the holiday  to celebrate women who gave troops doughnuts during World War I.  Entenmann's will donate $1 per person to the Salvation Army for anyone who "likes"  the company's   Facebook page through June 23.  You can also enter for a chance to win free doughnuts for a year.
