BY THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA
A PROCLAMATION
Today, our Nation proudly commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Allied Powers’ triumph over national socialism and fascism, and the end of World War II in Europe — one of the most epic victories for forces of freedom in the history of the world. On this Victory Day for World War II, we celebrate the unmatched might, strength, and power of the American Armed Forces, and we commit to protecting our sacred birthright of liberty against all threats, foreign and domestic.
In the wake of the December 7, 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States righteously entered the fray of what would become the apex of the eternal battle between good and evil. After nearly 4 years of the darkest and bloodiest chapters ever recorded in human history, more than 250,000 Americans lost their lives in the fight against the Nazi regime. Today and every day, we pay tribute to all those who made the ultimate sacrifice for their Nation, their liberty, and the survival of Western civilization. Without the sacrifice of our American soldiers, this war would not have been won, and our world today would look drastically different.
May 8, 1945 marks the Allies’ acceptance of Germany’s unconditional surrender — the beginning of the end of years of long, gruesome, and brutal warfare. The millions of souls senselessly lost serve as a reminder of why we must pursue peace through strength. I remain steadfastly devoted to stopping the years of endless foreign wars and preventing the further loss of lives. As I stated during my Inaugural Address, we will measure our success not only by the battles we win but also by the wars we end — and my proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker.
As we commemorate Victory Day for World War II, we offer our unending thanks to every patriot from the Greatest Generation who left behind his home and family to fight for our freedom in distant lands. We honor the memories of all those who perished. Above all, we renew our commitment to keeping America and the entire world safe, secure, prosperous, and free.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, DONALD J. TRUMP, President of the United States of America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and the laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim May 8, 2025, as a day in celebration of Victory Day for World War II.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this seventh day of May, in the year of our Lord two thousand twenty‑five, and of the Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and forty-ninth.
DONALD J. TRUMP
Nice proclamation.
Very nice. President Trump should be commended for officially promoting VE Day ( Russia has done a grand job for decades, I attended one or two while working there- absolutely awe inspiring).
That said, my father, an Infantryman decorated with the CIB, Bronze Star and Purple Heart would be pleased. It was the last war we won, but that is a discussion for later.
I like how the Russians march holding the pictures of their relatives who fought in the war.

Most notable for me was Lord Haw Haw’s final broadcast. He was so smashed.
I like the Russian name for WWII. It totally outdoes “WWII”.
Agreed. We ought to have major parades on Aug 15 (or Sep 2 was the formal signing) to commemorate Japan surrendering. We ought to show pictures of atrocities the Japanese did to China -— as a reminder that China would still be Japan’s “comfort woman” if Japan hadn’t attacked Peral Harbor.
1)"...marks the Allies’ acceptance of Germany’s unconditional surrender...." states President Trump.

The Allies of World War II The National WWII Museum
Yeah, my dad volunteered to enter the war, his first assignment was the beach landing at Okinawa. He was a medic, and he never discussed what he witnessed. The battle for that little island was brutal. He was on the island when a private came and told them that the United States had dropped a bomb that destroyed a whole city. They did not believe him. But shortly after the second bomb was dropped the War was over. He had access to medical ethanol, 95% = 190 proof, which they mixed with grape juice to form Harvey Wallbangers, in celebration of our awesome victory. It was because of American nuclear might that my dad was able to come home and start a family.
Or sow the atrocities of the POW camps by the Japanese
This is not a pro-Russia thread.
