I don't know why the anniversary of D Day isn't a bigger deal in this country. It was the gutsiest military operation of all time, and the day passes with very few mentions. It might be a little different this year, because it's D Day's 80th anniversary.
Just imaging being told what you would be doing the next morning, not knowing if you would every see your home, family, and friends again. Bravery doesn't begin to describe it.
Sadly, there aren't many D Day survivors left, and part of our history is fading away.
