It's not just the USA, D-Day is a very big deal in the UK and France. I
suspect also The Netherlands and Belgium, and probably other places in
western Europe, including Germany.

Having said that, I believe there will be no problem hanging a D
programming language marketing activity on the D-Day celebrations if
the intention is to progress activities that help soldiers and/or
victims associated with the D-Day landing, or indeed anyone indirectly
associated with the landings. 

The issue here is to be subtle and sympathetic/empathetic.
