We would normally refer to that as September 11 because it's much more talked about in the US, and that's the phrase used there.

Any other dates will likely be in the same order as written. For instance, the rhyme for bonfire night is 'remember remember, the fifth of November'. I believe that many in the US also talk about the fourth of July, rather than July fourth, so it's not like English has the hard-and-fast rule you were proposing.

Ok, fair enough. What do you say for non-special dates like July 3rd, 2015?

'Third of July, 2015' or more likely 'third of July'. The date format really isn't lying to us in UK English.
