U.S. Holiday: Memorial Day
May 26, 2025 | I-Connect007Estimated reading time: Less than a minute
Memorial Day is a U.S. federal holiday dedicated to remembering and grieving for military personnel who died serving in the U.S. Armed Forces. Held on the last Monday of May, it also marks the unofficial start of summer. On this day, originally known as Decoration Day, Americans visit cemeteries and memorials to honor fallen veterans, with volunteers placing American flags on graves in national cemeteries, while families and friends lay flowers and mourn those lost in military service.
As professionals in electronics manufacturing, we are grateful for our men and women in uniform. To all of those who have served, and especially to our brothers and sisters in uniform who have given their lives in the defense of the United States of America, we thank you. Your sacrifice is not forgotten.
The I-Connect007 offices are closed today.

Today, that edge is under siege.
