Have a safe, relaxing Memorial Day weekend

Mobile Marketer will not publish on Monday, May 30, in observance of Memorial Day. Thanks to all veterans for your service to our country.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May.

Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. men and women who died while in the military service.

First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War (it is celebrated near the day of reunification after the Civil War), it was expanded after World War I.
