Bill Summary
Recognizing The Last Monday Of May As Memorial Day.
AI Summary
This resolution recognizes the last Monday of May as Memorial Day, a federal holiday that originated in 1868 as Decoration Day to honor soldiers who died during the Civil War. The resolution provides historical context, noting that in 1968, the Uniform Monday Holiday Act established Memorial Day as a federal holiday on the last Monday of May, creating a three-day weekend for federal employees. The document calls on the members of the House of Representatives to recognize this day as an opportunity to honor and mourn U.S. Military personnel who sacrificed their lives while protecting American freedoms. Additionally, the resolution urges all Delawareans to reflect, honor, and celebrate the lives of fallen service members through traditional memorial activities such as decorating graves, reciting prayers, and holding parades.
