Actually, in the US there are two official holidays - one a federal holiday on which many businesses, schools, etc close - to honor those who fought in all US wars, including WWII. Memorial Day (which honors the war dead) and Veterans Day (which honors, er, veterans) are the occasions for parades, ceremonies, speeches and other such gatherings in cities and towns across the country. With the aging of WWII vets, at these occasions in recent years the focus has been on the war dead from that war and on people who fought in it.
In contrast to HDenier's assertions, veterans visit schools and conduct other educational programs. In my son's sixth grade year, one class assignment was for students to do oral history projects involving grandparents who had served in WWII or, if there were none in a student's family, interview other family members about the war years. HDenier appears to be making up some serious stuff in posts like that one. It is almost as thought HDenier has never even visited the US - and thus has not seen some of the many war memorials, monuments, and statues in many public squares, parks and other places.
