They did show up, only after the Japanese crashed their party and the Jerries invited them. So rather then show up, they where dragged in. ^
Not to bagalise their effort or sacrifes, it is very much appreciated and respected. The world would have been a totally different place if they had not. I am just putting them in perspective.

Yah, I can relate to that feeling. It irks me when I hear them talk about how Omaha was the toughest beach to take. No, no it wasn't. Juno was, that's why they sent the Canadians and not the Yanks.
Omaha had the hardest time, and some say they would have failed if the Canadians and others, had not been so successful that they were able to help with Omaha after taking the toughest beach.
The Americans greatest contributions to the war effort came from their women back home that kept the factorys running.
The old joke goes: when the Germans fire, the British duck. When the British fire, the Germans duck. When the Americans fire, everyone ducks.
But here I go sounding like I am bragging again, so I should stop that. Besides, they may have been late for the party, but they did show up, and many great Americans gave their lives for the cause. So if they want to blow their horn, they did earn it.
