Quite right. In WW2 nobody asked for repayment in advance. In fact Britain only finished paying off America very recently. The agreement was made at Yalta after the war had ended.
Correct as the article in the OP explained. It's military 250 anniversary - but Trump gets an add-in because it's his birthday - or at least that's what is being considered. Also correct about Memorial Day. Of course, in any case, few Americans reallize the WW2 D-Day involved many countries' forces. US landed at Omaha and one other beach, Canadians landed at Juneau Beach (famous video from inside landing craft and of the landing craft door dropping open), and British at Sword Beach. Few others realize that, in WW1, the US entered the war at almost the very end. The British and allied forces had fought to a stalemate with the German forces and its allies. Both sides exhausted and little military gains. The fresh arrival of allied (US) forces simply tipped the balance and that was the end of WW1.
