Explanation
Two important dates in the establishment of
our worldwide foundation were September 18, 1974, and September 18,
1976 -- the days we held the Madison Square Garden and Washington
Monument rallies, respectively. June 1, 1976, witnessed the rally at
Yankee Stadium. We do not celebrate the anniversaries of these
landmark days separately. True Father proclaimed September 18 as
"Foundation Day" and announced that members should hold a
special commemorative service on that day, marking the victories of
all three days.
