Several.

1. It was the largest invasion army ever gathered.

2. It allowed the Allies to penetrate and gain a foothold in Hitler's "fortress Europe" for the first time since the disaster of the British Expeditionary Force's retreat from Dunkirk in France in 1940.

3. It marked the beginning of the end of the German Third Reich.

4. It helped end World War II, not without great cost in terms of human lives and suffering.

5. It began the liberation of France. Vive la France, vive la liberte!

6. It showed that a multinational force (British, French, American, Canadian, Austrialian, New Zealander) could successfully coordinate and carry out a hazardous and difficult offensive military campaign against a tough and well trained army. (Yeah we did this in World War One, but nowhere near as decisively as D Day at Normandy.)
