I could be wrong; it's been a long time since I've had occasion to ask this question of a 5-year-old. But I think he or she would answer something about barbecues and fireworks.
Ask adult Americans why we celebrate both Memorial Day in May and Veterans Day in November, and you may be surprised to learn how many are clueless. Unless, of course, the person asked is one who has no idea....
And speaking of Mount Rushmore mentioned earlier in this thread, check out its history:
"Built on sacred Native American land and sculpted by a man with ties to the Ku Klux Klan, Mount Rushmore National Memorial was fraught with controversy even before it was completed ... on October 31, 1941."
South Dakota’s Mount Rushmore has a strange, scandalous history.
