Bonus Episode: Memorial Day vs Veterans Day vs Armed Forces Day!

18WT Bonus Episode:  We totally understand why people do not know anything about Armed Forces Day. It is so new; it came about in the 1950’s. It’s purpose is to recognize all branches of the military including the newly developed Space Force. Which kinda sounds like a Tim Allen movie to me, and Janet is even a veteran.

What we do not understand is how people do not know the difference or the meaning behind Memorial Day and Veterans Day. First off, they have both been around for longer than anyone currently alive. So yep, how could you live here in the U.S. and not be aware?

Memorial Day was formerly observed on May 30 from 1868 to 1970. Then on June 28, 1968, Congress passed the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, which moved four holidays, including Memorial Day, from their traditional dates to a specified Monday in order to create a convenient three-day weekend. The change moved Memorial Day from its traditional May 30 date to the last Monday in May. The law took effect at the federal level in 1971.
