New Year's is Novjaro.
Martin Luther King's name probably shouldn't be Esperantized, but some may disagree with that. His name isn't Esperantized in the Vikipedio article about him.
And isn't Veterans' Day on the 11th?

trojo:Some of these holidays might have articles on the Esperanto Wikipedia. That is sometimes a pretty decent source for stuff like this.You're right, of course, Trojo. It would normally be "Novjaro," but help me here. The federal holiday is celebrated the next day, Monday, because the calendrical New Year falls on a Sunday. That's why I translated it as "NovjaroFESTtago." Am I wrong? Should I stick with "Novjaro" for January 2, too?

I tried searching the Esperanto Wikipedia first, but had no luck.
And should I use instead "Naskiĝtago de Martin Luther King, Jr."?

You could do the same in Esperanto. "Novjaro (observita)", in cases where the holiday is observed on a different day than the actual date, for whatever reason.
I agree that you shouldn't esperantize Martin Luther King's name.
For Memorial Day, I've always said it as "Memortago"
The verb memorigi normally means "to remind", so "Memorigtago" sounds like "Reminder Day", a day when you remind someone, rather than a day when you remember.
