What happens in early October that is national?

I was born in 1945. My dad was in the Army during WWII, but had a bad back, and got a medical discharge - I'm guessing sometime in October of 1944 because I was born in early August. So, although I was born 5 months to early to qualify, I consider myself a boomer.
