On May 8, 2025, the United States proudly commemorates the 80th anniversary of the Allied victory over fascism and the end of World War II in Europe- a defining triumph for freedom and democracy.
This Victory Day honors the extraordinary bravery and strength of the American Armed Forces and reaffirms our enduring commitment to defend liberty both at home and around the world. In the aftermath of the Pearl Harbor attack on December 7, 1941, the United States entered a global conflict that became one of the darkest chapters in human history.
Over the course of nearly four years, more than 250,000 American service members made the ultimate sacrifice in the fight against the Nazi regime, helping to preserve Western civilization and reshape the future of the world. The unconditional surrender of Germany on May 8, 1945, marked the end of one of history’s bloodiest wars and reminded us all of the urgent need to pursue peace through strength.
In his proclamation, President Donald J. Trump emphasizes his dedication to ending prolonged foreign wars and promoting peace, declaring that his proudest legacy will be that of a peacemaker. On this solemn anniversary, he expresses deep gratitude to the Greatest Generation for their selfless service and calls on the nation to continue working toward a world that is safe, secure, prosperous, and free.
Therefore, President Donald J. Trump officially proclaims May 8, 2025, as Victory Day for World War II, signed on the seventh day of May in the 249th year of American independence.
