US EditionTrump says he wants to rename Veterans Day to ‘Victory Day for World War I’
- On Thursday, President Donald Trump expressed his intention to change the name of Veterans Day, observed on November 11, to "Victory Day" in honor of World War I and proposed recognizing May 8 as "Victory Day" to mark the end of World War II.
- Veterans Day originated as Armistice Day, established by Congress in 1938 to mark the end of World War I fighting on November 11, 1918, and to honor World War I veterans.
- In 1954, Congress renamed Armistice Day to Veterans Day, following requests from veterans organizations, to recognize and pay tribute to veterans from all American conflicts, such as the Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan wars.
- Trump justified the renaming as a way to 'start celebrating our victories again' and noted many allies observe May 8, V-E Day, as Victory Day for World War II despite continued Pacific fighting until September 2, 1945.
- Trump did not clarify if May 8 would be officially designated as a federal holiday through Congress, as Veterans Day is, and his suggested date for commemorating the end of World War II differs from the recognized September 2 V-J Day.
