Indulge your sweet tooth this Friday by celebrating National Donut Day with free treats from some of the biggest national chains.

The "holiday" dates back to 1938 as a way to honor The Salvation Army's Donut Lassies, women who went to France during World War I to hand out donuts and other snacks to weary soldiers on the frontlines.
