Happy Memorial Day from Keystone Interpreting Solutions.

Please note that the KIS office will be closed on Monday in observance of Memorial Day. We will resume normal office hours tomorrow.

Wishing everyone a safe and meaningful holiday as we honor and remember those who served.

Image description: A patriotic Memorial Day flyer with a dark navy blue background covered in faint star patterns. Across the top, white stars line a red and blue border. Large white text in the center reads “MEMORIAL DAY,” followed by a red ribbon banner that says “REMEMBER AND HONOR.” Beneath it is the quote, “A hero is someone who has given their life to something bigger than oneself.”

A large red rounded banner in the middle states: “KIS Offices are closed on May 25th, 2026. We will resume again on May 26th, 2026.”

Below the message are white silhouettes of soldiers saluting around a waving American flag. At the bottom are four Keystone Interpreting Solutions (KIS) logos representing Minnesota, Maryland, New York, and Wisconsin. The flyer uses red, white, and blue patriotic colors throughout.
