patriots' day? please.

as part of my work, it is necessary for me to maintain a day-planner. i was rather stunned to learn that september 11th has been named "patriots day." this makes absolutely no sense to me. 9/11/01 was a day of tragedy; subsequent years' 9/11's should be solemn days of remembrance (a la pearl harbor day, though its importance is waning as that generation dies off)... not a day to celebrate "patriotism." companies such as hallmark provide patriots day e-cards now. WTF?!?!?! oh, someone better hold me back if i ever see a patriots day sale. you know it's coming, folks...
