About Memorial Day, and who gets the day off.
Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the US military. It began after the Civil War as Decoration Day and became a Monday holiday in 1971.
It's the unofficial start of summer. At 3:00 pm local time, a National Moment of Remembrance asks everyone to pause for a minute.
Nearly every employer gives Memorial Day off: 97% of employers in Mercer's 2024 survey.
