Veterans Day is a time to reflect on sacrifice. It is a day to honor those who served and those who never came home. It was never meant to be a celebration of war.

Now, Donald Trump wants to change that. He has proposed renaming Veterans Day as “Victory Day for World War I” and wants to reframe other commemorations to focus on military triumphs. This is not about honoring veterans. It is about glorifying war and rewriting history to fit a political narrative.

Veterans Day was created to mark the end of World War I. It became a day to recognize the service of all veterans, not to spotlight battles or claim credit for military victories. This day is about people, not parades. It is about reflection, not conquest.

Trump has a long history of disrespecting those who served. He has called fallen soldiers “losers.” He has proposed deep cuts to the Department of Veterans Affairs. Now he wants to erase the meaning of Veterans Day to fit his brand.

This must be stopped. Congress alone has the power to create or change federal holidays. They must act now to protect the integrity of Veterans Day before it becomes another platform for political performance.

Sign the petition to keep Veterans Day focused on those who served. Not war. Not spectacle. Not politics. Just the veterans.
