It stands for "Day Day". Much like "H" in "H-Hour" stands for
"Hour". I believe this is because major operations take place
on "D Day" and jump off at zero time ("H Hour"). Just that some
events are so monumentous that their date or code name becomes
associated with that one event (e.g., "9/11" has special meaning,
even though there is a September 11th every year).
