Such is the state of the world in which we live that in some shuls if I were to give a klop on the bimah this morning and announce no tachanun because it is Reb Shayale's yahrzeit, no one would bat an eyelash, but were I to give a klop and say no tachanun because Yom ha'Atzmaut, that's a whole different ball game.
Probably the most important thing is not to descend into the sefirah trap of "lo nahagu kavod zeh la'zeh" whatever you personally do.
I looked at it as a form of unity, multiple reasons not to say tachnun
