remembrance of a vengeful folk or a much deeper-meaning stalk?

Each Year, 
on December 14th, 
the 47 Lord-Less Samurais are remembered

But why are they remembered so?
Why the veneration?
Is it the incredible style of vengeance? 
The highest demonstration of loyalty ? 

Scholars still argue if they walked the true path
but the people know
and this is why
they remember so.
