There Must Be A Better Word

A headline in my local newspaper today 11/22/13...

Dallas prepares for JFK Anniversary

I realize that, in the strictest sense of the word, “anniversary” fits...

“An anniversary is a day that commemorates or celebrates a past event that occurred on the same date of the year as the initial event.”

The Smartfella thinks (there I go again) that we ought to be able to find a better word. He does not see evil intent in calling JFK’s Assassination an Anniversary but Anniversary sounds more like a celebration than a commemoration.

I’m not celebrating today.

Would I kid u?
