While there are a number of national public holidays in the United States—such
as New Year's Day, Independence Day and Veterans' Day—many states also
have their own individual public holidays. In many cases, if a holiday falls
on a Saturday, the holiday is observed on Friday and if the holiday falls on
a Sunday, it is celebrated on Monday.
