• Purpose: It's a time for the nation to collectively reflect and pay respects to the deceased individual's contributions and impact.
• Observance: While not a mandatory federal holiday, it's customary for government offices, businesses, and schools to close or adjust their schedules.
• Examples: National Days of Mourning have been declared for past presidents, such as Ronald Reagan, Richard Nixon, and more recently, George H.W. Bush and Jimmy Carter.
