I think it should.
It would reinforce the true meaning of it. Right now too many look at it as a recreational long weekend, businesses look at it (the weekend) as a “have a sale” opportunity.
Moving it to Wednesday would give more incentive for people to treat it with a day with some solemn feeling in it.
That's never going to happen, since we have no national holidays on Wednesday, and moving it won't inject seriousness.
I suggest we move it to Sunday, and eliminate it as a national holiday, since we will probably never again regard the military, and war, with that kind of respect that we did a century ago.
The Unions are the only group that get to decide when we have US Holidays and what days those Holidays are on. I don't think they would ever agree to a Wednesday - pretty much the same way that they forced the schedule we are now forced to use.

That’s not a “somber” holiday
