In 1971, Memorial Day was declared a federal holiday to be observed on the last Monday in May, providing Americans with a three-day weekend to commemorate the sacrifices of fallen soldiers. This historical context can help teachers educate students about the significance of Memorial Day and its importance in honoring the nation's veterans.
