HOUSTON — Memorial Day, which honors U.S. military members who died while in service, will be celebrated on Monday, May 27, 2024.
The holiday can be a somber day for some Americans, while others celebrate it as the unofficial start to summer with parades, cookouts, beach days and family gatherings.
It's a federal holiday, so government offices will closed and there won't be any mail delivery, but many stores will be open for last-minute grocery runs or shopping for bargains.
