National Common Courtesy Day

National Common Courtesy Day is a day to focus on showing courtesy and consideration to others. It is about everyday small things that add up to make the world a better place. Showing common courtesy speaks volumes about a person's character, takes only a small amount of effort, sets an example for others, and makes one feel good about themselves.
