Hey everyone, tonight I thought I would write about the holiday weekend ahead of us.
Memorial Day Weekend, regarded as the unofficial start of summer but let’s not forget what Memorial Day is about.
Originally known as Decoration Day, the first national observance of Memorial Day occurred on May 30, 1868. From 1868 to 1970, it was observed on May 30th.
In 1971, Congress standardized the holiday as "Memorial Day" and changed its observance to the last Monday in May.
Of course it’s always nice to have a weekday off work but don’t forget the reason we do. Coming from a long line of military family members I know I take a brief moment while I’m grounding to give thanks.
Have fun this weekend, be safe and responsible and of course wear your sunblock.
Take care of yourself.
Love, Carrie Danger
