Holiday celebrations, why?

 National holidays are often celebrated to honor people and events significant to a people’s
culture and/or history.

and nation.

celebrate the Emancipation Proclamation, Memorial Day is to remember soldiers who died
and people have special services, Native American Heritage Day is a day of recognition for
the significant contributions the first Americans made to the establishment and growth of the
U.S.
