The problem here is, this discussion can be easily turned into a politics matter. I understand Rubakhin's point of view, sharing it myself. Maybe it's because D-Day is mostly an American commemoration. I know what happened then, and I am aware that perhaps the world as we know it today wouldn't be the same if those men hadn't given their lives to protect some ideals. However, in most of the countries (or so I'd like to think) we don't commemorate those who lost their life, in that way.

Diego Velazquez, a great painter, was born on a June 6th, too. The way I see it, in Google they preferred to commemorate something more... universal, and valuable in a way, than remember the people who died in a conflict that is a dark page in history of Mankind.

Said this, I just want to apologize if in any way this post offends someone. It's not my intention. I suppose this day must be really important to some, I respect and understand it.
