LABOR DAY

(FIRST MONDAY IN SEPTEMBER)

This holiday has been a federal holiday since 1894. Its purpose is to honor the nation’s working people. In many cities the day is marked by parades of working people representing the labor unions. For most Americans, it also marks the end of the summer season, during which most of them take year. Public schools and other schools below the college level open just before or just after Labor Day.

COLUMBUS DAY

(SECOND MONDAY IN OCTOBER)

This day commemorates Italian navigator Christopher Columbus’ landing in the New World on October 12, 1492. Most nations of the Americans observe this holiday on October 12, but in the United States, annual observances take place on the second Monday in October. The major celebration of the day takes place in New York City, which holds a huge parade each year.

VETERANS’ DAY (NOVEMBER 11)

This holiday was originally called Armistice Day and was established to honor those Americans who had served in the World War I. It falls on November 11, the day on which that war ended in 1918. It honors veterans of all the wars in which the United States has been involved. Organizations of war veterans hold parades or other special ceremonies, and the president or other high official places a wreath on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at Arlington National Cemetery outside Washington, D. C. There are soldiers buried there from each war the United States has fought in since World War I.

THANKSGIVING

(FOURTH THURSDAY IN NOVEMBER)

Almost every culture in the world has held celebrations of thanks for a plentiful harvest. The American Thanksgiving holiday began as a feast of thanksgiving in the early days of the American colonies almost 400 years ago.
