Victory Day for World War II, 2025

President Donald J. Trump proclaimed May 8, 2025, as Victory Day for World War II, marking the 80th anniversary of the Allies' victory over Nazi Germany. This proclamation honors the sacrifice of American soldiers and underscores a commitment to maintaining peace and security, reflecting Trump's emphasis on ending "endless foreign wars." Politically, this reinforces a narrative of military strength and patriotism, while legally, it formalizes a national day of remembrance without introducing new policies.
