International Red Cross and Red Crescent Day on May 8 honors the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement. It was a young Swiss businessman named Jean-Henri Dunant who, in 1859, came up with the idea of a national relief organization and, beyond that, international treaties to guarantee the safety of neutral medical staff in times of war: http://www.ifrc.org/en/who-we-are/history/
