Somebody has said on the radio, "Happy Memorial Day". Well, nothing wrong in being happy, especially if somebody is having an extra day off on Monday. However, "Happy Memorial Day" sounds to me like "Happy death anniversary". The words contradict themselves and that would be the least cause why you just do not say that.
What is more, the point of this observance is not happy and it is not meant to be such. Anyhow, that is how I see it. Too philosophical? Just sharing my thoughts.
