Trump announces Wilmington as 1st WWII Heritage City

US President Donald Trump announced Wilmington in the southern US state, North Carolina, as the first World War II Heritage City at a ceremony held to mark the 75th anniversary of the end of World War II. The President signed legislation last year directing the secretary of the interior to each year designate at least one city as an American World War II Heritage City based on contributions made to secure victory in the war, efforts to keep a historical record of those contributions, and work honouring WWII veterans.
