[edit] Traditional?

I'm not convinced that Memorial Day and Labor Day should be called the "traditional" start and end of summer. I'm changing this to "unofficial".

[edit] Mother's Day and Father's Day

This section is about Federal Holidays, not holidays celebrated in the United States. The link to the U.S.C. doesn't mention Mother's Day and Father's Day at all making their stance as Federal Holidays questionable. The part about Mother's Day and Father's Day falling on Sunday and therefore being "weekend holidays" makes no sense. If they were in fact Federal Holidays the following Monday would be given off. Without mention in the U.S.C. of Mother's Day and Father's day, the reference to these holidays should be removed. Juxtapos99 23:07, 1 June 2007 (UTC)
