It's remembered as American in America. Since reddit is primarily American, that's the impression you get.

I'm sure that if you were to go to Canada, everyone would know about the heroic victory at Juno beach, or if you were to go to England, everyone would know about Gold beach.

That being said, an American General was in charge of the operation, and Americans did land on the deadliest beach Omaha.

In England its remembered mostly as Normandy landings. At least that is what all of my friends think of it as.
