Not every anniversary has to celebrated in depth. Stick to major anniversaries like 25, 50, 75. Not every event in that war needs to be celebrated as heavily as you want, either. ["70 years since the M-4 Sherman tank was invented!"]
And if you watch as much cable TV history as I do, WWII is never off the air. One blog I read refers to a cable history station as “The Hitler Channel” because that’s about the only subject they cover.
Commemorations are for reminding folks lest they forget, not adding yet another rerun of a documentary or another speech opportunity by a politician. We haven’t forgotten WWII, we’re saturated with it.
