These people may be life long friends since childhood or someone we met later in life. Either way, they are an important part of our life and bring us much joy. One great way to celebrate National Friends Day on June 8th is to send a fresh and thoughful flower bouquet from Veldkamp's Flowers. We have fresh and festive National Best Friends Day Flowers. There is a brief history behind the origination of this day. Back in 1935, Congress decided the event of celebrating a Best Friend was a significant enough cause to declare June 8th as National Friends Day. In addition, Congress very smartly selected the summer season as the best time to desiginate this special day.
