How many americans really care about their own holidays?

Youre right but i dont think its an american holiday as much as before probably more of a military one.

I'm pretty sure 99.9% of okinawan's don't celebrate this day. Two foreign forces were fighting on their land. I'm sure they didn't care who won, as long as the fighting stopped.
