Yeah, I don't think it's fair to blame the American general public for not knowing about an Australian celebration/public holiday. It's a completely different place Australia, compared to us they don't get much world wide news/events. We know so much about American culture because of all the movies. Without them I would have no idea what independence day and thanksgiving are!! Well, independence day is pretty self explanatory, but you get my point!

I do get your point, if that's the case it's quite upsetting,as we are taught a bit about the American tradion,culture and days of morning. Don't understand why USA isn't the same. After all we are brother nations, like I said before at the service I went to, we paid respect to your troops lost at war as well by raising your flag and a moments silence. Made me bloody proud as an Aussie I tell ya, it would have the same feeling as your Independence Day basically or thanksgiving.
