    as we enjoy this observance of Memorial Day, let’s not forget to reflect on the sacrifices of the U.S. men and women who died while in the military service

    Memorial Day is Monday the 25th, not 26th. This article says Monday is the 26th. Shame on those responsbile for getting such an important day wrong.
