New name for N-Day


From The Marshall Islands Journal
April 15, 2005

 
A proposal to change the name of the March 1 national holiday from Memorial Day and Nuclear Survivors Remembrance Day, to Memorial Day and Nuclear Victims Remembrance Day Commemorations, resulted in a compromise. The holiday honors those who have suffered as a result of US nuclear testing.

The Nitijela approved the day’s new name: Memorial Day and Nuclear Victims/Survivors Remembrance Day Commemorations.
