What does Memorial Day mean?

Why We Recognize Memorial Day

 Memorial Day is an American holiday, observed on the last Monday of May, honoring the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Memorial Day 2026 will occur on Monday, May 25. 


Originally known as Decoration Day, it originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. Many Americans observe Memorial Day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Unofficially, it marks the beginning of the summer season.


Woodall's Fitness and Performance is closed on this holiday in remembrance of those men and women who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
