Not to mention, my husband's 50th birthday, hence the marches and much waving of flags.

The Turks are proud of today and what Ataturk has done for this nation...we, who, have "adopted" this country should help to celebrate the day to.

Hence my husband being named Cumhur as born on the Cumhuriyet Bayram.
I think that may have been his families way of showing their pride in the great work Ataturk did for the nation.
