Happy G.I.Joe day, everyone!
For those that need a refresher on what February 1st represents for G.I.Joe fans, here’s the scoop – G.I. Joe Day is celebrated annually on February 1st. It’s a day to honor the original G.I. Joe action figure, which was released by Hasbro in 1964, and to recognize the bravery of military service members.
- The term “G.I. Joe” is a nickname for United States soldiers, especially during World War II.
- “G.I.” is short for “government issue”, which was a term for supplies distributed by the government.
- The term “G.I.” originally stood for “galvanized iron”, which was the main material used to make military items.
- G.I. Joe Day started as a way to celebrate the popular toy line, but has evolved into a day to recognize the real-life heroes who serve in the armed forces.
