Trump Proposes Renaming Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I”.
Former President Donald Trump has suggested changing Veterans Day to “Victory Day for World War I.” On his platform Truth Social, he encouraged Americans to “start celebrating our victories again.”
Veterans Day, originally called Armistice Day, was established to mark the end of World War I. In the 1950s, the holiday was expanded to honor all American veterans. Today, it is observed as a solemn day of remembrance rather than a celebration of military victories.
