In fact it ranks at top equal (of course), for us, with whatever US 
day of memory is top of your list. And I imagine that whether "we" 
want to hear about what the historical basis is for ANZAC Day varies 
quite widely indeed amongst the OTers. I doubt that you can speak for 
the rest.

Speaking entirely for myself, if US memorial day is just "a holiday" 
to you, as you seem to imply, then I may well not want to hear about 
it either. If it happened to be the top day of remembrance for the US 
then I may well be interested in knowing why.
