What is Memorial Day?

Memorial Day was officially established in 1967 as a way to pay tribute to U.S. Armed Forces service members — unofficially, its roots go back to the Civil War. It also marks the unofficial beginning of summer, having become an American tradition filled with weekend travel and outdoor gatherings.

When do Memorial Day sales end?
