Floating holidays shift on the calendar; fixed dates like July 4 or December 25 stay on the same month and day every year. If the date falls on a weekend, federal observance may move to an adjacent weekday—confirm with your employer for time-off policies.
History and background
Origins trace to Decoration Day after the Civil War. Congress fixed the last Monday in May in 1968 and the name Memorial Day became common.
Understanding the history helps explain why schools, media, and local governments schedule related events around the same season each year.

Ceremonies at cemeteries, moments of silence, parades, and flags at half-staff until noon. Unofficially it also marks the start of summer travel season.
