Fox News
May 31, which is the last Monday of the month, is dedicated to honoring the men and women who lost their lives while serving in the U.S. military.
In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act to officially establish Memorial Day as the last Monday in May. This effectively created a three-day weekend for federal employees, although the change didn't take effect until 1971. Many consider the holiday weekend the unofficial start to summer and plan short vacations.More Related News
