Why Do We Celebrate Memorial Day?



Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday observed on the last Monday of May .


Formerly known as Decoration Day, it commemorates U.S. soldiers who died while in the military service. First enacted to honor Union soldiers of the American Civil War. It was extended after World War I to honor Americans who have died in all wars.

It has become a long weekend increasingly devoted to shopping, family gatherings, fireworks, trips to the beach, and marks the start of the summer vacation season!



Car-Lotta Credit Car Sales will be closed Monday, May 27th in observance of Memorial Day and will re open Tuesday, May 28th  at 9:00 am.   Happy Memorial Day
