356. Memorial Day

Today is Memorial Day. Today we take time to recognize and remember all military members who have died in service to our country.

It’s a good time to also remember that we must capitalize the names of special holidays.
Memorial Day
Mother’s Day
Father’s Day
Independence Day
Labor Day
Veterans Day
Thanksgiving Day
Christmas Day
New Year’s Day
Valentine’s Day

These are the major holidays celebrated in the United States. Each holiday must be capitalized to show that it is an important day.

Always capitalize all the words found in the name of a holiday.

  • It’s your turn. Find the words in this sentence that must be capitalized. We always have a day off from school on labor day and veterans day. Did you find two holidays that need to be capitalized? Good for you!
