Here's a little trivia for you: Memorial Day was originally known as Decoration Day, originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. It is considered the unofficial beginning of summer and its purpose is to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. At Ä¢¹½ÊÓƵ University, all offices will be closed and classes will not be in session.
