Victory Day was a federal holiday in the United States from 1948 until 1975 and is still officially observed only in the U.S. state of Rhode Island on the second Monday of August. Originally, the official name was "Victory over Japan Day" and "V-J Day", as proclaimed by then President Harry S. Truman and was officially observed on September 2 nationwide.
This would be a tremendous enduring tribute to the men and women who fought to keep America free and enshrine the Greatest Generation with a permanent place in our history.
