When is Memorial Day 2026?

Memorial Day 2026 falls on Monday, May 25, 2026.

What is the purpose of Memorial Day?

Memorial Day honors U.S. military personnel who died while serving in the armed forces. It is a day of remembrance and reflection.

Memorial Day honors those who died in military service, while Veterans Day honors all who have served in the military, living or deceased.

Red poppies became a symbol of remembrance after the WWI poem "In Flanders Fields." They represent sacrifice and honor fallen soldiers.

At 3:00 PM local time on Memorial Day, Americans observe a moment of silence to honor those who died in service.

The flag should be flown at half-staff until noon, then raised to full-staff for the remainder of the day.

현충일은 복무 중 사망한 미군을 추모하고 애도하는 연방 공휴일입니다. 원래 장식의 날이라고 불렸으며, 5월 마지막 월요일에 기념되고 비공식적인 여름의 시작을 알립니다.
