Memorial Day became an official national holiday in 1971 when the Uniform Monday Holiday Act, passed by Congress in 1968, became law. Before then, Memorial Day was celebrated on May 30 every year.
While it became an official national holiday late in the 20th century, Memorial Day’s origins can be traced back to the aftermath of the Civil War.
In May 1868, the Grand Army of the Republic, a Union veterans’ organization, declared May 30 a Memorial Day, or Decoration Day, to honor the country’s recently fallen soldiers and decorate their graves with flowers
