On the coming Monday, May 31st 2021, we Americans will celebrate Memorial Day. > **[Memorial Day](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Memorial_Day)** > > Memorial Day (previously, but now seldom, called Decoration Day) is a federal holiday in the United States for honoring and mourning the military personnel who have died in the performance of their military duties while serving in the United States Armed Forces. The holiday is observed on the last Monday of May. The holiday was formerly observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. > Many people visit cemeteries and memorials on Memorial Day to honor and mourn those who died while serving in the U.S. M... Memorial Day is a day in America where we honor those who have died while serving the US Army. While we don’t actually do any celebrations, there will be a holiday on Monday where people don’t go to school or work. I hope those in America have a great long weekend and vacation. I’m not really going anywhere because of COVID, but I hear that there will be a lot of people going on vacation. Do other people around the world also have a holiday like this? ---

I know you have marked this off topic but these sorts of topics are best avoided as they have nothing at all to do with Thunkable. Indeed some may even find them offensive due to US military actions across the world that result in civilian deaths. ---
