Memorial Day
  

Memorial Day, which is observed on the last Monday of May, commemorates the men and women who died while in the military service.  In observance of the holiday, many people visit cemeteries and memorials, and volunteers often place American flags on each grave site at national cemeteries.  A national moment of remembrance takes place at 3:00 p.m. local time.

Prior to 1971, Memorial Day (Decoration Day) was observed on May 30th.  It was moved to the last Monday in May as a result of the Uniform Monday Holiday Act which was passed in 1968 and took effect in 1971.
