Donald Trump shocked audiences at Arlington Cemetery by proposing to rename Veterans Day as “Victory Day”, inspired by observing Victory Day celebrations in Russia, the UK, and France.

Trump emphasized celebrating U.S. victories in WWI, WWII, and beyond, restoring military pride, and moving away from political correctness.

“When I see other countries celebrating Victory Day… I said we got to have a Victory Day,” Trump said.

00:00America's warriors never quit, never surrender.
00:03They fight, fight, fight, and they win, win, win.
00:07That's what we do.
00:08We win battles.
00:09As you know, today is not only Veterans Day, but it's my proclamation that we are now going
00:17to be saying and calling Victory Day for World War I.
00:23Victory Day, you know, I was recently at an event, and I saw France was celebrating
00:29Victory Day, but we didn't.
00:32And I saw France was celebrating another Victory Day for World War II, and other countries
00:38were celebrating.
00:39They were all celebrating.
00:40We're the one that won the wars.
00:43And I said, from now on, we're going to say Victory Day for World War I and World War II,
00:49and we could do for plenty of other wars, but we'll start with those two.
00:54Maybe someday somebody else will add a couple of more because we won a lot of good ones.
00:58But when I see other countries celebrating Victory Day, I watched it.
01:03I watched UK, I watched Russia.
01:06They were celebrating Victory Day, World War II.
01:10And I said, we got to have a Victory Day.
01:12Nobody even talked about it in our country.
01:14But from now on, we're going to be celebrating Victory Day for World War I, for World War II,
01:21and frankly, for everything else.
01:23Under the Trump administration, we're restoring the pride and the winning spirit of the United
01:29States military.
01:30That's why we have officially renamed the Department of Defense back to the original name, Department
01:37of War.
01:38And remember, we won World War I.
01:43We won World War II.
01:45We won everything in between.
01:47We won everything that came before.
01:50And then we brilliantly decided to change the name of this great thing that we all created together.
02:00And we became politically correct.
02:03And we became politically correct.
02:04We don't like being politically correct.
02:06So we're not going to be politically correct anymore.
02:08From now on, when we fight a war, we only fight for one reason, to win.
02:14We fight to win.
02:16And under my leadership, we're also fighting for the great veterans who have always, always
02:24been there for us, and especially when we needed them and needed them most.
02:30In nine months, the Trump administration has cut the backlog of VA benefit claims in half.
02:40It's a big achievement, and Doug is going to get it down to zero.
02:45During the Biden administration, the backlog exploded like we had never seen before.
02:50And I'm going to eliminate 100 percent of that backlog.
02:54We're moving at that pace.
02:55And already, we've processed more than 3 million backlog claims, the most of any year in the history
03:02of the VA.
03:03We've added more than 1 million extra service hours across the VA centers.
03:08And we've opened 20 new facilities in 13 states, something that people said just not possible
03:16to do.
