They don't want you to remember the core pass time of the Allies during WW2 was killing Nazis.
I wonder why.

That fat, orange, human bone spur couldn't even be bothered to drive to a WWI memorial. Why would he want to change veteran's day other than to take focus off everyone else and make it about himself?

Not saying I support but this is not without precedent, it was celebrated as Armistice Day from 1919 until 1954 when it was renamed Veterans Day.
