Memorial Day


Might as well na ipost ito kasi maaga ako nakauwi kahapon from work kasi walang masyadong jobs... kasi holiday sa US daw, Memorial Day. Nacurious naman ako kung anong klaseng holiday ito so reseach research ng konti.

Memorial Day is a United States federal holiday observed on the last Monday of May (May 25 in 2009) . It commemorates US men and women who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War then it was expanded after World War I to include American casualties of any war or military action.

I think dalawang major US holidays palang nararanasan ko habang nasa BPO industry ako, the other one is Thanksgiving Day... maaga rin ba kami pinauwi nun? Oo. May parating pa ulit this coming July, US Independence Day naman. Di pa ako masyadong aware sa mga ganitong customs ng US pero very interesting, kanya kanyang holiday observance. hmmm kung alam ko lang... you know, sa mga US holidays kaya ako mag file ng leave :-)
