I was caught off guard the other day when one of my new friends from Costa Rica asked me what Memorial Day was, and why we celebrate it.  My answer was close, but not entirely accurate.  So I decided to survey the few FSBO employees that made it to the office today, and was pleased that their answers were also about 85% correct.  Either way, I have posted the technical definition from Wikipedia below.  Have a great and safe weekend.  FSBO.com offices will be closed on Monday, May 26th in observance of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day is a United States Federal Holiday that is observed on the last Monday of May (observed in 2008 on May 26). It was formerly known as Decoration Day. This holiday commemorates U.S. men and women who have died in military service to their country. It began first to honor Union soldiers who died during the American Civil War. After World War I, it was expanded to include those who died in any war or military action. One of the longest standing traditions is the running of the Indianapolis 500, which has been held in conjunction with Memorial Day since 1911. It is also traditionally viewed as the beginning of summer by many, since many schools are dismissed around Memorial Day.
