Watershed Voice will not publish on Monday, May 27 in observance of Memorial Day.

Memorial Day honors the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Originally known as Decoration Day, it started following the Civil War and became an official federal holiday in 1971. From 1868 to 1970, it was observed on May 30, but since 1971, it is observed on the last Monday of May.

The City of Three Rivers traditionally holds a parade on Memorial Day at 10 a.m. The route begins in downtown Three Rivers, continuing left onto West Michigan Avenue, and ending with a service at Riverside Cemetery.
