What was the life expectancy of American soldiers in World War 2?

The life expectancy of the servicemen depended on the job position the service person had. For instance if you were a ball turret gunner your life expectancy was three hours. If you were a General you were expected to live to see the end of the war or at least get close to the end of the war. If you were a nurse or doctor you could expect to live through most of the war but if you were a "medic" or rather an army corpsman you had a life expectancy of 3 hours too.

What was the life expectancy at Normandy?

This is not accurate at all - there are many factors - the key one being one's rank - geographic landing area - not all beaches were as bad as Omaha for instance - and whether the soldier was front-line. A staff officer - for example - or intelligence officer - might not be exposed to direct fire at the tip of the spear. According to Antony Beevor, it was approximately 3 weeks of fighting - if you were on the frontline on a daily basis.
