Days all Americans should remember

jonk
With tomorrow being Pearl Harbor day, I just thought- what days should all American patriots celebrate, commemorate, or at very least remember?

I'll keep religious days out of it as though mostly Christian, not everyone here celebrates the same- I mean days important for our country.

Off the top of my head:

July 4, 1776.
4th Tuesday of November- Thanksgiving
November 11, 1918- Armistice day, aka Veteran's Day (I prefer the former, while being thankful to all vets)
Dec. 7, 1941
Sept 11, 2001
Memorial Day

I'll stop there... let some other folks add to the list.

    I looked that up. Let's see: Marine Corps was founded; Rockne made his 'win one for the Gipper' speech; and the Edmund Fitzgerald sank...which were you referring to?

    I decided to celebrate it on Thursday this year instead of Tuesday.

    Dec. 7, 1941 and Sept 11, 2001 are both days that SURPRISE attacks were made on the U.S. Those that do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
