Celebrated on the last Monday in May, Memorial Day is one of eleven federal holidays in the United States.
Originally known as Decoration Day (because of the custom of decorating the graves of soldiers), it first honored soldiers who had died in the American Civil War. After the First World War it was modified to honor all soldiers who die in any war or military action. Many Americans observe this holiday by visiting cemeteries or memorials. Traditionally, the American flag is flown at half-staff from dawn until noon, often a POW/MIA flag is also flown in remembrance of those lost or imprisoned and at 3:00pm EST a national moment of remembrance takes place.
Memorial Day is also viewed by many Americans as an unofficial beginning of summer. Americans regularly get together for family gatherings, picnics and sporting events over Memorial Day weekend. Often outdoor recreational facilities, such as municipal swimming pools, open on this weekend and parks nationwide prepare for the marked increase of visitors that will continue to stream in until Labor Day weekend.

Happy day - it's tax time again. The good news is Uncle Sam knows overseas residents are procrastinators and grants an automatic 2-month extension to file your return and pay any federal income tax that is due if:
- You are living outside of the United States and Puerto Rico and your main place of business or post of duty is outside the United States and Puerto Rico, or
- You are in military or naval service on duty outside the United States and Puerto Rico.
If you use a calendar year, the regular due date of your return is April 15. Even if you are allowed an extension, you will have to pay interest on any tax not paid by the regular due date of your return.
To use this automatic 2-month extension, you must attach a statement to your return explaining which of the two situations listed earlier qualified you for the extension.
