In 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating July as "National Ice Cream Month" and the third Sunday of the month as "National Ice Cream Day."
The proclamation called for Americans to celebrate with "appropriate ceremonies and activities," and the makers of your favorite frozen treats are making that easy with plenty of discounts and freebies.
