America seems to constantly have days comemorating things, why is this, money? all we have is easter, christmas, bonfire night, a few bank holidays for no real reason, and thats it. Americans have like thanksgiving, arbour day (guessing the spelling) labour, flag, veteran, white?, pearl harbour, milk, and i have no idea what for, i can guess from the names what they are about, but what do you do in them, does it get annoying having to do this like every week or so, tell me if ive missed any others.

You are right... we do have many commemorative days, but the fact is, the majority of them are not major holidays and are not even observed. Arbor Day comes and goes... a few people give notice, but the mail goes on and the banks don't close. For most Americans it is just another day. No celebration or special meal.
June 6 is D Day. Most younger Americans would be clueless if asked what that might be. Veterans would take take notice, of course. So, no, it's not annoying. No at all.

Most of the days you mentioned are "awareness" days not real holidays. Most of these are not "money makers" in any sense of the word, but are just to remember various things or people. Most of the time you don't notice the lesser known days, which is a pity, as many of them are there to raise awareness.
