MEMORIAL DAY OBSERVATION

Join us for the time-honored tradition of Memorial Day and the celebration for those who gave their lives while in military service. The National Society of Professional Surveyors (NSPS) welcomes all Working Week participants to witness a short program featuring a military honor guard and proclamations by NSPS leadership.

Memorial Day honors America’s military men and women who lost their lives in service to their country.

The holiday is observed on the last Monday of May, a time of year when weather is turning warmer, and schools and universities are adjourning for summer break. To Americans, Memorial Day weekend marks the unofficial beginning of summer. But at its heart, Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day when Americans reflect on the sacrifice of those who have given their lives in military service.
