The following day, Wilson commemorated the end of World War II with a message recognizing American service members: “On this day in 1945, World War II ended with the formal surrender of Japan. We recognize and commemorate the brave service of Americans who served, were wounded, and made the ultimate sacrifice. https://t.co/VsTzMgPYyf” (September 2, 2025).
