I think it's a great idea. We should recognize the losing side of wars more often! I have some ideas:
Maginot Line Month - dedicated to the brave Frenchmen who stood for a few long seconds in front of the German Army.
British Colonial Month - dedicated to Cornwallis and the British Army who fought their way to surrender in the American Rebellion of 1776.
Carthaginian Month - dedicated to Hannibal who managed to kill a lot of elephants and Romans before being slaughtered in the Third Punic War by Scipio Africanus in 146 BC.

Oh, another thing. You ought to check your history. Hannibal was the second punic war. And he wasn't slaughtered by Scipio. He escaped the battle of zama (202 BC BTW) and was killed (in a cowardly act) years later.
