Now I've "heard it all."

There is probably a "National Day" for everything. 365 days is probably not enough days for everything, so no doubt there is a lot of overlap. Today is almost certainly the "National Day" for several--maybe many--other things.

Wikipedia probably has a webpage devoted just to listing every thing that has a "National Day" (almost certainly sorted by date). It's bound to be "a hoot" (that may be a Southernism--it means something like "very funny" (but not a laughing kind of funny), and a little bit unusual or strange).

The problem is, IMHO, when there are so many "National Days" of this and that of a very trivial nature, it dilutes, in the minds of people, the signifance the "National Days" that are truly significant--"Pearl Harbor Day" is the first one that popped into my mind.
