Apologies. I'm an asshole. I just wanted to spam the ng.
I love spamming. Here is more batch code to spam the newsgroup by.
It's what I do as a troll.

@echo off
:: CleverShowEast.bat - a twist on your original
:: Usage: CleverShowEast yyyy

:: Check argument by jumping to label with dynamic name
CALL :CHECKARG %1
GOTO :EOF

:CHECKARG
:: If %1 is empty, jump to usage
IF "%~1"=="" GOTO USAGE
:: Get day and month via external tool
FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i IN ('minEast %~1') DO SET DM=%%i
:: Compose full date output
ECHO %DM% %~1
GOTO :EOF

:USAGE
ECHO Usage: %~nx0 yyyy
ECHO where yyyy is in range 1900-2099
ECHO Output is Day Month Year
GOTO :EOF
