Why this countdown exists
“How Many Days Until September 2” is on this site because Americans search remaining days until V-J Day, not because every square is a paid holiday. The public hook is Missouri signing (2 Sep 1945; V-J Day (US)). The same morning is also used for weddings, travel, leases, and school dates. The timer zeros at midnight in your timezone, then repeats next year.
