The original date of May 1, 1944 was pushed back to allow for a much large force over a much larger area of the coast. The date tentatively set was June 4, although that was jeopardized by a disastrous attack during a rehearsal along the English coast on April 28.
There was another 2-day delay for bad weather on June 4. This would have made the crossing difficult and the landings impossible. Timing also had to allow for the tides, so that the beaches could have the proper water depth for the landing craft. Fortunately, the forecast was for a slight clearing on June 5, which gave the landing some element of surprise, as the stormy weather was followed abruptly by clear weather. The day-long assault by planes, ships, and landing craft was successfully completed on June 6, 1944.

Armistice Day
D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.

That can depend on company policy. If you were not scheduled to work on a particular day, and then a co-worker called in sick, then your employer may call you and request that you fill in for the one that was originally scheduled to work that day. But you are not legally required to go to work if it is not your scheduled day to work. But keep in mind, you may need someone to fill in for you one day, so it could be in your best interest to comply with your boss's request to go in to work on your day off.
