By posting this in "politics" you open this topic as fair game for disagreement, unpleasantness. Why should we remember every military victory with an entire calendar date? Do we still commemorate the Union "victory" at Shiloh? Anyhow anyone who knows their WW2 history knows that victory in Europe was largely a Russian endevour. The Germans held off American and British forces with little more than a skeleton army while the largest sacrifices were made by their communist allies at Stalingrad, Petersburg, et al.
As such I think it's a little more than rude for our president to commemorate this date with didactic speeches about democracy. How about sincere note of appreciation for the nation that beat Hitler's army?
