There’s no holiday commemorating it ... Maybe not, but to be on the safe side Obama's taking the day off anyway.

There’s no holiday commemorating it ... The Brits may be referring to the annual reenactment of the battle in Louisiana, at Chalmette Battlefield. The locals usually extend an invitation to the UK ambassador, which apparently is received in the spirit given. ;-)

But - there is a small observation of it in my family. You see, the land on which the battle was fought was owned by my wife’s family at the time.

It, like Lexington and Concord are no longer celebrated in the USA. Not even a mention in the newspapers on those days.
Maybe it has to do with citizen militias joining with Army troops in the battle.
