00:00But the United States has never joined in with the proper celebration of our own.
00:07And the victory was mostly accomplished because of us.
00:11Whether you like it or not, we came into that war, and we won that war, and we had a lot
00:17of help from a lot of great people, a lot of great allies.
00:22But I think there would be nobody that would say that we were not the dominant force in
00:26that war, and we don't celebrate it.
00:29And I think that's a great disservice to the people that lost their lives and people
00:32that fought so hard in winning World War II, and also a separate victory day for World
00:40War I, and we're going to be doing that, too.
00:43It was American tanks and ships and trucks and airplanes and service members that vanquished
00:49the enemy 80 years ago this week.
00:51Without America, the liberation would never have happened.
00:56And so we have to pay tribute and homage to those people that gave us victory.
01:06And we did something else that people don't talk about.
01:09We rebuilt the world.
01:12All of these countries that were destroyed, we helped them rebuild.
01:16And that's something that, for the most part, others did not do.
01:21So with this proclamation, we are hereby honoring the incredible sacrifice and heroism of millions
01:27of Americans who served in World War II, along with the unprecedented mobilization, home front
01:35that helped deliver this great triumph.
01:39All Americans should take pride in what these incredible patriots have achieved.
01:43So I just want to say happy victory day to all.
01:47So we are celebrating every year now.
01:50I can guarantee for four years.
01:52But I think after that, we're going to have two victory days, World War I and World War II.
01:57This is World War II victory day.
02:00In the future, we're going to have a major celebration of each day.
02:08We're not going to have days off because we don't have enough days in the year.
02:11We have too many celebrations already.
02:14But we're going to have victory day and first World War I, World War II.
02:20And without us, those wars would not have been won.
02:25I think we can say that would not have been won.
02:29And I think it's time that the United States start taking credit for their achievements.
02:35And it's I really believe it's a shame, you know, it's I was watching for the last week
02:41and I noticed France.
02:42I noticed other countries all getting ready for victory day.
02:47And I said, that's sort of strange because David just added something.
02:51He said, we also rebuilt the world.
02:54And I didn't have that.
02:55And I should have that.
02:56That was a big factor.
02:58But I noticed all of the countries Russia having a big day tomorrow.
03:04And by the way, they lost millions of people and they were absolutely a major factor.
03:11But there was no major factor like us.
03:14We won the war and we wanted with the help of others.
03:17But everybody was celebrating.
03:19But the United States of America, I said, you know, I think it's time that we start celebrating
03:24victory and that's what we're doing.
03:29So now for the reason that we're here.
03:34But I asked David, would it be appropriate if I did that?
03:36He said, absolutely.
03:38That's a big thing that we're doing on your swearing and very big thing.
03:43But now for the real reason.
