GREAT NEWS: Importance of Memorial Day ‘Rated Higher Than Ever’

Americans consistently rank Christmas as the most important holiday, followed by the Fourth of July, yet the importance of Memorial Day is “rated higher than ever,” according to new a Rasmussen Reports poll.

More than half of American adults (51 percent) consider Memorial Day, which is for honoring those who have died while serving in the U.S. military, as one of the nation’s most important holidays. That percentage is up from 47 percent last year and is the highest percentage recorded since Rasmussen began asking about Memorial Day.
