Though I fully agree with the sentiment of your post, I must admit I am in favor of the three-day weekend in remembrance of those who gave their lives for our country as opposed to a fixed date.
While I fully concede that the commercialization of the day/weekend is very unfortunate, I would rather we still pay attention to (and notice) the moment as opposed to the near obscurity other memorial holidays flail against. Columbus Day, Flag Day, even Veteran's Day, all get lost in the scattered and brief attention span of the American public.
In the end, Memorial Day and the weekend it creates is something we look forward to; as opposed to a day that most would not even know existed, despite the reason.
