# Happy Memorial Day!

## In Remembrance
 
Originally known as Decoration Day, Memorial Day originated in the years following the Civil War and became an official United States 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.
 
From The Lonely Entrepreneur family to yours, we wish you all a safe and happy Memorial Day as we honor and remember those who gave the ultimate sacrifice.
