Hi,
Could you please provide a list of U.S. dates for the following
holidays in 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009? I know some are ?fixed? and
some are ?variable? ? it?s too much for my brain to handle, so I?m
looking for a detail-oriented GA researcher to provide an accurate
list.

I do not need the days of the week, but if any of the biggies (paid
time-off holidays?) fall on a weekend, I?d like the ?observed? date(s)
too. For example: Independence Day = July 4 (Observed July 5). And
lastly, please check my spelling/style on all, if possible ?
President?s vs. Presidents? vs. Presidents? Martin Luther King ?
should there be a Jr. in there? Chanukah vs. Hanukkah? Is there even
an Election Day every year? See what I mean? I?m hopeless. Thanks, in
advance, for your help!
