In the USA and the UK, we celebrate (or at least remember, or at least used to remember) V-E Day which is May 8th. V-E stands for Victory in Europe, and it is the anniversary of the day that Germany surrendered to the Allied Forces. V-E Day is not celebrated much anymore, but it is a day that should be remembered, due to the sacrifice of many lives that brought us to that day and to the end of the war in Europe. In America, Pearl Harbor Day is an official day of remembrance. This is December 7, the anniversary of when Japan attacked Pearl Harbor. The US flag is flown at half staff on this day. We also remember other dates involving World War II.

When I was in Russia, it was quite a festive holiday! I enjoyed meeting some veterans from the Great Patriotic War.

Sure. This is the most important date for me. My both grandfothers took part in that awful war.

Should we? Please tell us what we are missing.

Most people in America do not celebrate this date, however, it is discussed in some schools.
