The Dopefish said:Patriot Day is a quasi-holiday the government invented to give people somewhat of a reason in case they want to skip work. ("Why, it's a holiday today; I have to go pay my respects to the dead of September 11, 2001!")
Y'know, I didn't even know they'd made a holiday out of it. Are banks or government agencies closed that day?
On the other hand, you know that one dork who runs around telling people, "happy Pearl Harbor Day" on 7 DEC, or insists on referring to 11 NOV as Armistice Day even though he clearly wasn't alive at the end of WWI?
Heh... guilty.
Looks like I've got one more for my arsenal of obscure holidays now. Patriot Day... that ought to be good for laughs around the ol' water cooler.
