It's overkill because yes it was a terrible day and many people died. But there are many days in history and even in modern times that were worse and noone is taking time to honor them. What about all the people killed by Hitler, Stalin and Mao? I believe that their crimes are much worse and many more people were killed but as far as I know, there is no day of remembrance for any of those victims.

It's fine if you mention it for a moment of silence but having a huge ceremony is going a bit too far.
