Your post is inaccurate.  The invasion of Normandy was not necessary for a allied victory.  It was necessary so that the US and Britain could jealously conquer more of Europe than their soviet counterparts who were making great advances on the German’s in the Eastern front.

So it is inaccurate to claim that the invasion “lead” to victory.  It was a political move, played with the lives of soldiers, to prevent the undesirable reality that the Soviets might “liberate” all of Europe.  Not that this should be surprising, cowardly politicians always shovel the fresh meat of their newly enslaved conscripts into the meat grinder of war for a little bit of symbolic victory.

This celebration should have stopped at 50.

There have been plenty of important battles in America’s history, from Yorktown to Gettysburg, why just this obsession with Normandy?

Besides, repeatedly (covertly) reminding western Europe of their “debt” to America is undignified. Not to mention the minimizing of Russia’s decisive role in defeating Germany.

Sixty-five years of Celebration Nonsense ...that is.
Considering that almost equal time has passed since “Israel`s murderess expansion politics for Lebensraum Nazi-style” has been witnessed without any warranted
retributions and still going on( by the very same American, British and Canadian Gov`s)should make this particular event an even “greater joke” as it already is !
