Today Memorial Day is observed in the US. It is a National Holiday.
May 30th of each year as directed by Grand Army of the Republic Commander-in-Chief John Logan in General Order No. 11. Each brother swears an obligation to always remember this day and pay tribute to the men of the Grand Army of the Republic. Brothers are also encouraged to participate in the Congressionally-mandated celebration of Memorial Day until this injustice can be corrected.
