 May 25 Memorial Day

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States observed on the last Monday in May to honor U.S. military personnel who died in service. It was initially called Decoration Day and was first widely observed on May 30, 1868, to commemorate the sacrifices of Civil War soldiers. In 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved several federal holidays, including Memorial Day, to designated Mondays to create three-day weekends for federal workers. The change officially took effect in 1971, establishing the final Monday in May as Memorial Day.

 

 June 14 Flag Day

Flag Day in the United States is observed annually on June 14 to honor the national flag and commemorate the date in 1777 when the United States approved the design for its first national flag.

 

 June 19 Juneteenth

Juneteenth, officially known as Juneteenth National Independence Day, is a federal holiday in the United States celebrated annually on June 19 to commemorate the ending of slavery in the country. The holiday was signed into law as a federal holiday by President Joe Biden on June 17, 2021.

 

 June 21 Father's Day

Father's Day in the United States is celebrated on the third Sunday of June.

 

 July 04 Independence Day

Independence Day, also known as the Fourth of July, is a national holiday in the United States celebrated annually on July 4th to commemorate the adoption of the Declaration of Independence in 1776, which declared the Thirteen Colonies' independence from Great Britain. This day marks the significant moment when the Second Continental Congress ratified the Declaration, establishing the United States of America. Celebrations typically include fireworks, parades, barbecues, picnics, and various public events that reflect national pride and patriotism.
