HR scheduled an interview on Labor Day. I agreed, but forgot about Labor Day. Should I email confirming that the interview is indeed on Labor Day?

Title says it. After finishing my first interview, HR requested a second Skype interview on Monday September 7th. I agreed to it yesterday. I realized today that Monday is Labor Day. I personally am okay with doing an interview on Labor Day, but because I forgot about Labor Day, I'm thinking now that HR might've forgot about it as well.
Should I email HR tonight just saying,
"Hi, just to confirm, the interview is on Monday (Labor Day), right? I'm personally okay with it but I just wanted to confirm that the hiring manager is also okay with it."
Or do you think it is not needed?
Edit: Company is in the United States. Interview is on Monday September 7th.

I think you should reword it to just say, "Hello, I wanted to send an email confirming our interview on Monday, 9/7 at 9am. Thank you." The other stuff looks unprofessional. A courtesy email is not unheard of and you may get one from them as well.

Absolutely email and ask. You don't want to be waiting around for a Skype call that isn't forthcoming.
I'd word it more like:
Hi, I'd just like to confirm our Skype interview on Monday at [time]. I thought I'd better check given that Monday is Labor Day. I am available at that time, so I'll talk to you then!
Kind regards, user112321123
I am of course assuming that the company is located somewhere that celebrates Labor Day on that day as well.

It is almost always better to take action than to do nothing and hope for the best. Asking won't hurt and it may help.

The interviewer might be equally surprised that someone scheduled him to do an interview on a bank holiday, and not very happy about it.
