I could not care less for Cinco de Quatro or Mayo - I'm not Mexican. I also don't give a rat's behind for St. Patrick's Day - I'm not Irish. When someone asks me what nationality or heritage I am, I use these words straight from W. C. Fields - "I'm an American Citizen." I celebrate July 4th and observe Memorial Day.
I'm with you. The Fourth of July, Memorial Day, Veterans Day, Flag Day... Back in the day, when I wore ties regularly, I had a special, one-of-a-kind St. Paddy's Day tie...it was orange, with a little white shamrock embroidered on it.
