Memorial Day is coming up and to some it might just be a three-day weekend, but it’s important to know where this holiday originated. Memorial Day is an American holiday that is observed annually on the last Monday of May. This is a day to honor the men and women who died while serving in the U.S. military. Many Americans recognize this day by visiting cemeteries or memorials, holding family gatherings and participating in parades. Although we aren’t hosting a Memorial Day parade here at Toyota Vacaville, we do offer a Toyota Military Discount all year to show our appreciaton to those who have served and continue to serve.
