For my followers from other countries, I will explain one of our most revered holidays in America…Independence Day, also referred to as the Fourth of July, is a federal holiday in the USA, commemorating the adoption of the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.

Memorial Day is a federal holiday in the United States for remembering those who died while serving our country. It is currently observed every year on the last Monday of May, so we will celebrate it this Monday, May 28th. The holiday was originally held on May 30 up until 1970. Memorial Day marks the unofficial start of summer vacation season, while Labor Day marks its end.
