Trump needs to get some people who actually know history on his staff fast! VJ Day is September 2. Memorial Day and Veterans Day are fine just the way they are.

************
September 2nd should be Victory Day for World War II. That's when we stopped fighting.

Europe can do what they want, but World War II ended September 2nd.

My dad was brought back to the states to prepare for the invasion of the Japanese homeland. He served from 1938 to 1940 at Corregidor in the Philippines. Once he landed back home in New York, he immediately reenlisted. He then started training men for the fight. He fought from Normandy to Germany to defeat the Nazis. But, that wasn't the end of the war. It continued until September 2nd.

So, official Victory in World War II should be September 2nd.
