Happy International Women's Day
http://www.internationalwomensday.com/
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/International_Women%27s_Day
International Women's Day (IWD), originally called International Working Women’s Day, is marked on March 8 every year.[1] In different regions the focus of the celebrations ranges from general celebration of respect, appreciation and love towards women to a celebration for women's economic, political and social achievements. Started as a Socialist political event, the holiday blended in the culture of many countries, primarily Eastern Europe, Russia, and the former Soviet bloc. In many regions, the day lost its political flavour, and became simply an occasion for men to express their love for women in a way somewhat similar to a mixture of Mother's Day and St Valentine's Day. In other regions, however, the original political and human rights theme designated by the United Nations runs strong, and political and social awareness of the struggles of women worldwide are brought out and examined in a hopeful manner.

Re: Happy International Women's Day
They haven't posted the video of the event yet, but this morning at the State Dept here in DC, Secretary Clinton hosted the 2012 International Women of Courage Awards with the First Lady in attendance to help give out the awards.
Here is a link to the release. The video should be on the main State website in the next 24 hours.
