What all those pushing for their own special federal holiday either fail to realize (or could care less) is that it costs a business a lot of money to shut down for their "special" day. The government entities just roll on with our tax dollars, no big deal to them. It cost us revenue and hacks off customers if we closed on the ethnic holidays.. We were a small closely held corp. and closed only the major holidays, primarily because that's the only time our clients ever closed down. We did give veterans and spouses off because we felt they especially deserved it (and we owners also happened to be veterans ourselves....). We just told the other employees to show us your DD214 and the day is yours and I don't think anyone really resented it.
