Re: Nations' Most Memorable Date
I'm unsure what we're looking for here...
Are we talking 'Memorable' as in, 'Everyone remembers what they were doing/where they were when it happened'? Or 'Remembered' as in 'You memorized this date either thanks to school or because it's easy to remember'? Or 'Celebrated' as in 'We celebrate this day every year'?
If it's the first, I feel the obvious answers are 9/11, or 7/7, or for the older American crowd 11/22/63 or 1/28/86 (that's the Kennedy Assassination and Challenger explosion, respectively) or maybe 12/8/80 if you were a Beatles fan. The second, well... you can insert any number of dates there, depending on your country - I couldn't even begin to guess what all the important historical dates are beyond 6/6/44 (D-Day) and 12/7/41 (Pearl Harbor), since I can only vaguely remember years of various wars and such and not specific dates within them. The third is where I feel things like July 4th, July 14th (Bastille Day), March 17th (St. Paddy's Day), 3/14 (Pi Day, because everyone loves pie), 5/4, etc, seem to belong.
