President Donald Trump plans to change the name of Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I”. Trump also wants to designate May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II.” On his post on Truth Social<\/a>, Trump pointed to other countries who celebrate May 8th as Victory Day. He partly justified the move for the May 8th naming by stating that the U.S. did more than any other country.<\/p>\n

From Military Times:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

President Donald Trump in a social media post Thursday announced plans to rename Veterans Day as “Victory Day for World War I” and establish May 8 as “Victory Day for World War II.”<\/p>\n

“We won both wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything,” Trump wrote in the late night statement. “That’s because we don’t have leaders anymore, that know how to do so! We are going to start celebrating our victories again!”<\/p>\n

The move to rename Veterans Day — established to coincide with the end date of World War II — would overwrite 87 years of precedent in recognizing Nov. 11 as a national holiday celebrating all veterans.<\/p>\n

During his last term in office, Trump issued a national proclamation for Veterans Day honoring the celebration as a chance for the country to “pause to pay tribute to all who have proudly worn our nation’s uniform.” He did not make any mention of the World War I origins of the date.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
