Memorial Day was one of the holidays affected by the Uniform Monday Holiday Act enacted and signed into law on June 28, 1968. This Bill, reassigning certain holidays to a Monday to enable three-day weekends for federal employees, went into effect on January 1, 1971. Prior to 1971 Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, was observed on May 30th of every year.
