There are seven national holidays observed by all 50 States in the US:  New Year Day, Memorial Day (軍人纪念節), Independence Day, Labor Day,  Veteran’s Day,Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day (note 1). Each holiday has its  own tradition. For Memorial Day, the tradition is a free national concert  held in Washington DC on open grounds with  TV broadcast to the entire nation  and to all US military installations over the World. Its main purpose is  to remember and honor the fallen US soldiers in all wars.  The concert is elaborately produced featuring many celebrities telling emotionally  stirring stories of heroism of the common soldiers. Well known patriotic songs are  sung and staged. It is one time when differences are forgotten and forgiven,  the whole nation come together under one banner and one purpose.  For immigrants, I watch this broadcast every year and must say that I experience  an emotional high and gratitude for having lived continuously in the US as an immigrant and citizen since I was 16 years old in 1950. My knowledge about  Chinese national holidays are somewhat incomplete. I know there are CCTV  new year celebration broadcast similar to the memorial day concert described  above. But are there days specifically devoted to honor the military forces?

(note 1. According to Wikipedia other holidays not uniformly observed by all States  are: Martin Luther King Day (in January), President’sday (in February), Columbus Day (in October)  and the Day after Thanksgiving (in November).
