Was not sure if it was a 'floating' day or a fixed day Hanno. Thanks for the confirmation.

Unfortunately it is one of the US holidays which as been made a floating holiday to always fall on a Monday. It is always celebrated on the last Monday of May.

Thanks Phil I knew it was floating but not the accual date.

Well....it does have a floating part to it....it's only a nationwide day off once every five years....so people with our hobby and interest have to take the day off to attend celebrations
