Yes. Garden State Plaza is open normal business hours on Memorial Day. It was posted on their Facebook page.

No, most US schools are not open on Memorial Day.

I believe that the first Memorial Day was in 1865 Since then, May 26th has been a Thursday in... 1870, 1881, 1887, 1892, 1898, 1904, 1910, 1921, 1927, 1932, 1938, 1949, 1955, 1960, 1966, 1977, 1983, 1988, 1994, and 2005. .... which is a total of 20 times.

Since 1971, when the Uniform Monday Holiday Act went into effect, Memorial Day has always been observed on the last Monday of May. This holiday was first called Decoration Day. It was first established in 1868, just three years after the Civil War ended, and was always observed on May 30th. Each of the Southern states observed a similar holiday but they all had different names for it and it was on different days of the year in each state. After World War I the holiday was changed to honor the fallen soldiers of all wars in which the United States was involved and the southern states finally began to observe the same day as the north did. But the southern states still also observe their original different days. Here is a link with more history tied to the day.

• The reason poppies were chosen to represent veterans was because they grew quickly in the disturbed battlefields of the First World War and their vast numbers were linked to the numbers of dead from the conflict.
• In the battlefields of Belgium during World War I, poppies grew wild amid the ravaged landscape. How could such a pretty little flower grow wild while surrounded by death and destruction? The overturned soils of battle enabled the poppy seeds to be covered, thus allowing them to grow and to forever serve as a reminder of the bloodshed during that time and for the future.

It's one day. The first Monday in September.

Societal standards for colors of clothing by season have been relaxed since the 1960s, and only those interested in following the old fashion rules know that women are not supposed to wear white before Memorial Day and after Labor Day.

• Americans get several days off if the holiday is close to the weekend.
• Some people go to grave sites to put fresh flowers on the war heroes. The Military puts little flags at each grave plot and Washington DC puts on a big military band bash and honoring of the past veterans and the ones still living.
• Around the nation many go camping, to the beach or stay home to enjoy seeing the big Washington DC bash on TV.
• They have veterans in parades in hundreds of towns and cities in all the states. The towns people honor the vets. As a girl I even got to see a Civil War Vet honored. Amazing.

I think that would be determined by the context in which that phrase was used. If you were writing something like, "We had a picnic during the Memorial Day weekend," then it would be a lowercase "w." But if it was a title like, "Memorial Day Weekend Sale," then it would be capitalized.

You can create numerous words from the phrase "happy Memorial Day." Some examples include "happy," "day," "real," "lead," "moral," and "palm." The total number of words will depend on the rules you set for word length and whether you include proper nouns or abbreviations. In total, you could potentially form dozens of words, including shorter ones.

There are over two dozen cities and towns to have claimed to be the first to observe Memorial Day. There is evidence that the very first Memorial Day-like commemoration took place on May 1, 1866 in Charleston, South Carolina when freedmen (freed slaves) honored over 170 Union soldiers of the Civil War that had died there while being held as prisoners of war.

In the northern states the first observance of Decoration Day (the original name of Memorial Day) was on May 30, 1868 at Arlington National Cemetery, Arlington County, Virginia. General John Logan had officially declared Decoration Day on May 5, 1868. New York was the first state to officially recognize Decoration Day in 1873. By 1890 all northern states had recognized the holiday. The southern states each had their own Memorial Day on different days of the year. They did not recognize the northern version of the holiday until after World War I when Decoration Day was changed from honoring the dead from the Civil War to those who died in all wars in which the US was involved. Memorial Day became the most often used name for the holiday by the time of World War II.

Waterloo, New York was officially declared the birthplace of Memorial Day by President Lyndon B. Johnson in May 1966 and in 1967 he signed the legislation officially renaming Decoration Day to Memorial Day.

First have your water tested at the local pool store. Next balance your water according to your test results. Begin poolside, by cleaning and vacuuming your liner. Make sure that no algae or debris is left in the pool at time of closing. If you water is greenish; break point chlorinate (shock) your pool until the water clears. Next make sure you backwash your filter out thoroughly. This is the last time you will be able to wash out your filter using the pump. Next drain your pool water until the level is below all of your skimmer mouths and return jets. Note: Sometimes this is not possible because some return jets are too low, and this would require emptying more than half of you pool. Once the water is below the skimmer mouths, people with an above ground pool can plug their return jet, disconnect hoses and drain out the pump and filter. People with in ground pools, you will need to drain your underground lines so that they do not freeze in the winter time. First turn your filter to recirculate or open all ports. If you water is below the skimmer mouth and the return jet(s), you can use either a wet/dry vacuum to suck the water out fo the lines from the pool end of the line. If you could not drain below your return jets, you will have to use some kind of forced air to "blow" out the lines. This can be done using an air compresser. Disconnect the effluent line (from the filter to the pool) and start at the filter end. Begin forcing air through the line until bubbles come out of the jets. Quickly plug each jet while air is comming out. The skimmer line can be done in a similar fashion, starting at the skimmer and "blowing" the water out by the filter. The skimmer must then be plugged using an ice compensator to avoid cracking over the winter. Each 10ft of 1 1/2" line holds 1 gal of water. Determine how many gallons of water you have extracted and check to see if you've drained all of it. Each underground line should then be filled with propelyne glycol anti-freeze. Fill from the filter/pump to the pool for both lines. Use the previous equation to determine the amount. Now you can begin todrain your pump and filter. The pump has two plugs in the bottom of it. They are usually 1/4" treaded plugs. One is at the bottom of the pump strainer basket. The other is at the bottom of the diffuser housing located right behind the strainer housing. Both of these chambers hold water It is necessary to drain them so that they do not freeze in the winter and crack your pump. The filter should have either a drain pluf or a valve at the bottom of the tank. Open this valve/plug and leave open. Remove all fixtures from the top of the filter including pressure gauges and sight glasses. For sand filters turn the handle on your multiport valve to the winter setting. If there is no winter setting then turn the handle so that it sets between two settings and rests on top. This will ensure that all ports are open and water is not restricted from escaping your filter. Now you can fully disconnect the pump and the filter and bring both inside your house or garage. These are to be kept in a heated area to avoid freezing of trapped water. If taking the pump and filter inside is not possible, at least keep them protected from the elements by covering them with a tarp. Now, it is time to put in an equalization pillow. This helps keep your cover from sagging due the water drained from it and to help compensate for the expansion of ice. By having the pillow in your water the ice crushes the pillow instead of forcing out on the pool walls potentially resulting in a lot of repairs. Now you can cover your pool. Above ground pool covers use a cable and winch. The cable is threaded through a series of grommets on the outside of your pool cover and them tightened using the winch. Also, weights can be hung from the cover or cover clips can be fastened to the top rail to help keep its place secure. In ground pools' covers can either be held down atop the surrounding edge of the pool by any combinations of weighted boxes or water tubes. They can also be tied and staked. Your pool is now ready to bear the wintery months ahead of it.

Though it is not certain, it appears that HEB grocery stores are open on Memorial Day.

telephone them and ask

Yesh.
