The US does not have any public holidays commemorating World War II specifically, but there have been remembrance ceremonies in May, August and September across the country for decades

KYIV, Ukraine (AP) — Russian President Vladimir Putin on Monday declared a unilateral 72-hour ceasefire next week in Ukraine to mark Victory Day in World War II as the U.S. presses for a deal to end the 3-year-old war. Kyiv insisted on a longer and immediate truce.

The president said that America will celebrate Victory Day on May 8, seemingly unaware that the U.S. kept fighting for months.
