This year Memorial Day is Monday, May 27, 2024. Originally, Memorial Day was called ‘Decoration Day’ and dates back to after the civil war and commemorates those who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day is one of the 11 federal holidays and many people use this day to decorate soldiers graves, saying prayers and celebrating with family and friends. My family and I will be out at Rest Lawn Memorial on May 25 to put in flags. The activity of placing wreaths and flags has turned into a family tradition that I truly enjoy doing. There is just something about remembering how lucky we are to live in the US that makes your day.
Nora and I encourage all employees to enjoy the holiday with their families and friends. Please discuss rescheduling your visits with your Monday clients. Just text the rescheduled date and time to the office, no need to call. 616-234-0190.
