Yes SIR!
It doesn't stand for anything. It is simply a military term that described the day any particular military operation would commence. The same with the term "H-hour"
"D" in d-day stands for . . . 'day', and it refers to the day on which a major war attack will start. If it is capitalized, like "D-Day", then it refers to the Allies 1944 invasion of Europe in World War II.
no, d-day is a generic term used in the military for the day that an operacion begins. but ever since WW2 invasion of Normandy, D-day is associated with that particular day.
Although the term "D-Day" was applid to the day when any allied amphibious operation was launched, the term generally refers to the invasion of German occupied Europe at Normandy on June 6, 1944. Pearl Harbor is an American Naval base in Hawaii. The Japanese attacked it on December 7, 1941.Two generals who helped plan D-Day would include Eisenhower and Montgomery. Pearl Harbor was not planned by generals but by Japanese admirals. Two of them would be Nagumo and Yamamoto.ANS 2 - The Genereal who was in charge of D-Day planning was British General Frederick Morgan. His planning committee started in early 1943.
The D in D-Day actually doesn't stand for anything. It was a name that was assigned for the day that the Allies landed on the Northern coast of France. It is assigned many names such as "Death" and "Destruction".
Sacred days were called feasts, feast days, or holy days. The term holiday came from holy day.
Yes. Day is capitalized in Mother's Day and Mother's has an apostrophe before the "s."
The word Holiday probably comes from "Holy Day". I think this term comes from holy day or saint's day which would be a day off from work. The christian calendar used to be full of these - some replacing old pagan ritual days or events.
Yes, the day of the week should be capitalized in writing.
The phrase "Martin Luther King Day" is correctly capitalized. Martin Luther King is a name so is automatically capitalized. Since it is a specific day, a holiday to be exact, day is also capitalized.
I think that would be determined by the context in which that phrase was used. If you were writing something like, "We had a picnic during the Memorial Day weekend," then it would be a lowercase "w." But if it was a title like, "Memorial Day Weekend Sale," then it would be capitalized.
No. While Ash Wednesday is an important day to Catholics as the beginning of the season of Lent, it is not a Holy Day of Obligation. Ash Wednesday is however a special holy day and a day of abstinence and penance.
The term red letter day refers to any day that has special significance. The term comes from Medieval church calendars that printed special holy days in red ink.
Yes.
Yes it is. "Mother's Day"
Yes, "Graduation Day" should be capitalized because it is a proper noun referring to a specific event.
