VE Day is 8th May in "Western Europe", The Americas and all (current and) former British, French, Belgian and Dutch colonies (Basically all non-Soviet/Warsaw Pact Allies).
Victory Day is 9th May in former Warsaw Pact nations. At the time of German surrender it was gone midnight in Moscow and the Soviet Union was not yet at war with the Greater Japanese Empire so there was no VE-VJ distinction.
VJ-VP Day is commemorated by various nations on various dates between 15th August and 2nd September. 15th August in Britain and Korea, 2nd September in the Soviet Union and USA.
Certainly far more complicated than 11th Hour 11th Day 11th Month.
No other awards to anyone of her name.
