Best Answer

Memorial Day was moved from May 30 to the last Monday of May so it always falls on a Monday. Likewise with Columbus Day, which was moved from October 12 to the second Monday of October. Thanksgiving was moved from the last Thursday of November (between Nov. 24 and Nov. 30 inclusive) to the 4th Thursday of November (between Nov. 22 and Nov. 28 inclusive) to make the Christmas shopping season longer. The name of Armistice Day was changed to Veterans Day.
