Why this is the answer
National (federal) holidays are days set by the federal government when federal offices are closed. You need to name two from the official list, such as Independence Day (July 4), Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year's Day, Memorial Day, or Labor Day. Juneteenth, which marks the end of slavery, is the newest one on the list.
