Well, this is interesting. I went searching for special days celebrated on today, May 8, since all my west coast brother could come up with was "National Give Someone a Cupcake Day" and, while I do like cupcakes, I wasn't too excited about writing about food. To my surprise, with a little searching, I discovered that today is a brand new special day.
On Monday President Trump established two new national holidays. He declared November 11 a holiday to commemorate our victory in World War One. This has been celebrated as Veterans Day for as long as I can remember, but I think he wants to emphasize the victory. The really new National Holiday, May 8, is to commemorate our victory in World War Two. Obviously, we didn't win either of those wars all by ourselves, but I think it's ok to remember the part we played. So Happy May 8.
