Memorial Day is Monday, May 25, 2026
According to the Old Farmer’s Almanac, Memorial Day commemorates the men and women who died while in our country’s military service, particularly those who died in battle or as a result of wounds sustained in battle. In other words, the purpose of Memorial Day is to memorialize veterans who sacrificed their lives for our country.
Let’s be grateful for those who made the ultimate sacrifice for the United States of America as we spend this weekend with family and friends.
Memorial Day is both a federal and state holiday; thus, banks, post offices, and all non-essential federal and state government offices will be closed.
