I've long believed Presidents Day should be a bigger deal in this country. The same goes for the D Day anniversary, which isn't a holiday at all.
We do have some meaningful Memorial Day observances, but the day has turned into barbecue city and the beginning of summer.
The significance of Independence Day is lost in the noise and drinking.
We've lost sight of what Labor Day means.
Thanksgiving and Christmas are extremely important, but Thanksgiving has been getting lost in the holiday rush, and Christmas commercialism goes off the charts.
I've always believed the start of the new year gets far too much attention. The same goes for birthdays.
MLK Day is relatively new, and Juneteenth is even newer. It's about time.
The bottom line is a holiday is what you make of it, and you don't have to go with the flow.
