SUMMARY:D-Day
DESCRIPTION:D-Day is observed in the U.S. in memory of the Normandy landings in France on June 6\, 1944\, in which American soldiers and other Allied forces fought to end World War II in Europe. \nIs D-Day a Public Holiday?\nD-Day is not a public holiday. Businesses have normal opening hours. \nWhat Do People Do?\nSome museums and war memorials host exhibitions featuring photos and film as a tribute to soldiers who were part of the Normandy landings. D-Day memorials and ceremonies are also held to remember these soldiers. \nPublic Life\nD-Day is an observance and not a federal public holiday in the U.S. \nBackground\nAbout 160\,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy\, France\, to fight Nazi soldiers on June 6\, 1944. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory”. More than 5\,000 ships and 13\,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion\, and by the end of the day\, the troops gained a foot- hold in Normandy. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives\, but thousands more trekked across Europe to end the war. The invasion is one of history’s most significant military attacks. \nWhy D-Day Matters\nWhile the invasion of Normandy on June 6\, 1944\, usually termed D-Day\, did not end the war in Europe—that would take eleven more months—success on that day created a path to victory for the Allies. The stakes were so great\, the impact so monumental\, that this single day stands out in history.
