Nothing. It just sounds cool. Some people try to claim its for "Decision Day" or some such nonsense, but it had no meaning. It just designated the day when an operation was to begin. There were dozens of D-Days during the war, each the day of the start of some planned operation. The one in Normandy on June 6, 1944, has come to be thought of as THE D-Day. Operations further started at H-Hour. Its just a nice alliterative way of designating the day and time.
