I remember this as a child. Also, we did a May Pole for our Mothers. I would leave flowers in a a paper basket on the door of my neighbor who was elderly. She loved it. \nI will have my son do this on May first to see if we can get it going again.\nThanks for reminding me.

As a naturalized US citizen and wife of a veteran, I say NO.  Each of these holidays mean the world to us - you missed one--Flag Day (yesterday), Washington's Birthday (I don't call it President's day - as there should be a day to honor our first President).  For each of these holidays we celebrate it in family, the US Flags are everywhere, house is decorated. And before the meal, a prayer is said to honor all who for our freedom paid the ultimate price.  We go to our small town parade.  Dress in red-white-blue.  When we have been overseas on Memorial Day or Veteran's DAy, we have always made it a point to visit a National Cemetary.  Our son died (not in a conflict but in an auto accident) we always have red-white-blue flowers and flags on his grave....\n\nSo, no, these days are very special to us.  And as a naturalized citizen, they have come to mean what America is to me.\n\nDid you fly your flags yesterday??  Our towns had them all over the place!

May 1st (or may day) is labor day or international worker day, it's held in several countries, not just México.\n\nMay 5th is the celebration of Puebla's battle, when Zaragoza beat the frenchs with a smaller army in some fortress in Puebla state, some compare this historic moment with El Alamo battle in the US. Since it's the same story, Zaragoza won battle, but lost the war. So, it's more like a celebration of the courage of a few to defend the country.\n\n---\nDani, Mexican independence was proclaimed in Sept. 16 of 1810 (the civil war started) and was recognize, through the Tratado de Córdoba, and promulgated in August 24 of 1821. May 5th is the battle of Puebla celebration.

I'm going to participate in a Memorial Day remembrance at the Madison County (New York) Veterans Memorial in Wampsville at 2:00 PM today.  Then tomorrow, I'll preside over my American Legion Post's memorial service.  Tomorrow IS the real, the original date upon which Memorial Day traditionally falls.  My Post does not agree with the idea of observing that special day on any other date.  Doing so, in our view, marginalizes the immense sacrifice of the families who lost their loved ones in wartime.  We take solace in the fact that, whether it's done on the traditional day or the previous day, at least people are taking notice.

Yes, I celebrate it. While it's not an officially recognized holiday in the US, it is celebrated by pagans here. We refer to it as Beltane more often than May Day.

Yes, I do.  It took me a while to realize it though.  We have had a lot of ups and downs, but we made it.  On June 10, we celebrated our 29th wedding anniversary.  I always wanted a marriage like my mom and dads.  Now I do.  Thanks for reminding me...:)

Gosh Rick.......\n\nYou came to my house and got the idea for this question didn't you? Ohhh admit it. *sigh* I didn't actually do it on purpose.....I'm just so busy that I'm about 2 months behind on everything. So it was valentines day and we prayed to baby jesus. Ok the kids forgave me for that one. It was shouting happy new year during the St. Paddy's day parade that they couldn't get into. But I gotta say.........we had the best Easter egg hunt ANYONE ever could have on Memorial Day.  I can't wait for the 4th of July so we can go trick or treating. See ya then!!!

Well, I'm not actually having fun, I've just been awake for a short time, so am doing this while drinking my coffee for the wake-up process.\n\nYes, tomorrow is May 1st, seems like only yesterday it was March (or even New Years).  \n\nHave a good day, and don't worry so much.  :)

I think you mean June 19th 1865.  That is known as Juneteenth.  It is the day to celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation.\nSo, June 19th 1965 was the 100 year anniversary.

for me it's Memorial Day. yeah the 4th is big for remembering our independence but Memorial Day is to remember everyone lost in all the wars.

May Day used to be a religous Holiday in most European countries. It was taken over by the lefties of the world.
