President Trump announced plans to rename Veterans Day to 'Victory Day for World War I' on November 11, reflecting a desire to celebrate military victories. He additionally expressed intentions to recognize May 8 as 'Victory Day for World War II.' Despite his assertion that America won both wars, Trump did not address honoring veterans from more recent conflicts. Veterans Day, originally established as Armistice Day in 1938, transitioned to honor all veterans in 1954, shifting from a focus on World War I to a broader remembrance.
"We won both Wars, nobody was close to us in terms of strength, bravery, or military brilliance, but we never celebrate anything - That's because we don't have leaders anymore, that know how to do so!"
"Congress originally passed a law in 1938 that November 11 would be Armistice Day, 'a day to be dedicated to the cause of world peace' and honoring veterans of World War I."
