What's In A Name?

So it's Patriot Day today, which is to say it's the anniversary of the planes collapsing the World Trade Center. I'm not sure how they picked the name, I don't know that getting killed in an office building is any more patriotic than any other way. The Japanese attacked at Pearl Harbor, and we have Pearl Harbor day. To honor veterans, we have Veteran's Day. We have Labor Day and Memorial Day. Most of our holidays sound like what they are. I don't see why we couldn't call it World Trade Center Day. Dunno, in the greater scheme the name probably doesn't matter than much, but I think about these things sometimes.
