About Federal Holidays
Federal holidays are days that Federal employees observe. On federal holidays, the U.S. Post Office and banks are closed. Schools and universities also are typically closed on federal holidays.
About Memorial Day
Memorial Day is a nationally recognized holiday that commemorates the brave men and women who've lost their lives fighting for our freedom during war or other hard times in America. Memorial Day is observed on the last Monday in May. Memorial Day was instituted as a national holiday by Congress in 1968. In 2011, Memorial Day will be observed on May 30.
About Veterans Day
The first Veterans Day, then called Armistice Day, was on Nov. 11, 1919. Its purpose was to commemorate the signing of the temporary halt to hostilities between the Allied forces and Germany. This treaty effectively ended what was called at the time the "Great War," or "The War to End All Wars," or as we call it today, World War I. The treaty was signed on the 11th day of the 11th month at the 11th hour. After it became apparent wars were not a thing of the past, the name of the holiday was changed to Veterans Day to honor the sacrifices our service members have made all over the world.
About Independence Day
Independence Day is celebrated on July 4th and is the day in which the United States declared independence from Great Britain.
