Christmas and Easter in for an ever decreasing minority. And labor day?I see July the 4th as Independence day that encompasses all citizens and the freedoms that all enjoy under the declarations of the US Constitution. I see no reason for a national holiday that is only for 13.4 % of the nation. While I have no problem with any group wanting to celebrate anything that is important only to them, I believe this national holiday is not helpful to our union.
I personally think it's worth celebrating an event that corrected a great plague that darkened our nation for decades.
New Year's day is a holiday, and just absolutely nothing, so...
