Governor Walker Statement on VE Day
MADISON—Governor Scott Walker today released the following statement commemorating the 70th anniversary of Victory in Europe Day (VE Day):
“Seventy years ago, the United States, together with our allies, ended World War II in Europe by resolutely defeating the evils of Nazism and fascism. I encourage all Americans to pause, reflect, and thank our greatest generation for liberating Europe and ending the unspeakable horrors of the Holocaust.
“VE Day is a celebration of transatlantic unity, our enduring commitment to peace in Europe, and a sobering reminder that freedom and liberty must never be taken for granted. To America’s brave men and women who fought and gave their full measure of devotion for our liberty and that of Europe, we thank you on this seventieth anniversary of VE Day.
“Today, at a time of Russian aggression in Ukraine, we must intensify our efforts to help foster a Europe that is whole, free, and at peace.”
