If you could invent a holiday, what and when would it be? What special traditions would take place on that day?
It's too soon to discuss - the war is too recently past - but there should be a yearly festival to commemorate its end, celebrated by all the worlds of the Alpha Quadrant that came together to fight the Dominion. It would serve as a reminder to the Romulans and the Federation that they worked together to repel a common enemy; it would bring Bajor and Cardassia together as equals in a common fight.
I'm not sure that it would be possible to establish traditions common to all the participants, as our martial ceremonies and tributes to the dead are so very different. Still, I would like to know that on a common memorial day, all of us who fought, and won, and lost people who were dear to us, were together marking the occasion and thinking of one another and those who led us to the victory.
