As the final weekend of May arrives, it’s easy to get caught up in the excitement of a long weekend. For many, it marks the unofficial start of summer, a time for backyard barbecues, family gatherings, and enjoying the warmer weather.
But at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we believe it is deeply important to look beyond the festivities and focus on the true purpose of this sacred holiday.
Memorial Day is not just a day off; it is a day of solemn remembrance. It is a time dedicated to honoring the brave men and women of our armed forces who made the ultimate sacrifice in service to our country. Every freedom we enjoy today—from the safety of our communities to the ability to gather freely with our loved ones—was paid for by their selflessness and courage.
Our hearts, thoughts, and deepest gratitude are with the Gold Star families who carry the heavy legacy of their loved ones’ sacrifice every single day. We owe them a debt of honor that can never truly be repaid, but can be humbly acknowledged through our remembrance.
Holiday Notice: We Will Be Closed
To allow our employees the time to properly observe this day of reflection and spend meaningful time with their families, all of our facilities will be closed on Monday, May 25th, 2026.
We will resume regular business hours on Tuesday, May 26th.
How We Can Observe Together
As we enjoy the freedoms of this weekend, we invite our community, customers, and partners to join us in taking a moment of silence to remember the fallen. Whether you visit a local memorial, fly the American flag, or simply pause to reflect, let us ensure that the legacies of our nation’s heroes are never forgotten.
On behalf of everyone at Cummings Lumber, Barefoot Flooring, and Barefoot Pellet Company, we wish you and your family a safe, peaceful, and deeply meaningful Memorial Day.
