Yes, it is quite important. The entire world has bowed to america's calendar simply because it occurred in america. If china (or some other weird place, hell if I know: I'm indoctrinated) uses a different system, would we use their system to note the day of a horrible event in their country? Absolutely not, because we are fucking american and we do whatever the fuck we please for no rational reason.
It's as moronic as declaring the Normandy invasion by sea 'D-Day'. Except I'm pretty sure the whole west is responsible for that stupidity. Maybe I'm not giving america's stupid enough credit.
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
