The first day of May would be declared as Cold War Victory Day in Maine under a bill proposed by a bipartisan group of legislators.
Representative Brian Duprey said the day would recognize the contributions of military troops who served during the Cold War era.
The Cold War was a time of tension and conflict, but not outright military engagement, between the U.S. and the Soviet Union from the mid-1940s until 1991, when the Soviet Union was dissolved.
A public hearing on the bill will be held Monday.
The Cold War Veterans Association says some 17 other state have already designated May first as Cold War Victory Day.
