Talk:Memorial Day
From Academic Kids
Question: On Memorial Day, do shops, enterprises etc. work? Because, here in Greece, on National Holidays, the only things that work are cafeterias and restaurants, as well as the TV and radio stations.
- Many businesses and nearly all schools are closed on the Monday observing Memorial Day (if the schools haven't let out for the summer already) so most families have a three-day weekend all together. It is seen as the traditional beginning of summer. Many families travel to see relatives, to the beach, the lake, or some other fun destination. Usually those that don't travel will mark the day in some way. As a result, businesses that cater to travellers and those on holiday will be open. Factories, banks, the postal services, corporate offices, many government services such as libraries and water departments, car repair shops, even restaurants that mainly serve lunch to business people will all be closed. I hope that answers your question. -Acjelen 15:44, 30 May 2005 (UTC)

- I don't think so; unless there are holidays named Memorial Day in other countries. Mattlary 13:26, May 5, 2005 (UTC)
