Because the U.S. Navy did not think being involved in an explosion while on top of a RH-53 then after regaining consciousness an individual used a tee shirt to aggressively beat out the ensuing fire on the helo that was on a Russian tank truck in the middle of the Sahara Desert was worthy of recognition.

An IMPACT award is an award that the Commander (Approval Authority) has pre-approved to be given out with orders to follow later. So it's pretty much an achievement award that the Approving Authority has given verbal approval on. It really has nothing to do with impacting or having impact on anything. In the old days we would have a formation/inspection and during that formation/inspection the Company Commander would have verbal authority from the Battalion Commander (Approval Authority) to hand out up to 4 AAM's for outstanding performance, or anything he deemed was worthy of recognition... he would pin the medal on the soldier immediately and then submit the DA638 for signature, and put ACH (IMPACT) in block 12a to let the approval authority know the award was already approved and presented and a signature was needed.

The first day of Operation Overlord was given the code name D-Day. This was decided months before by COSSAC.
The overall commander for the Allies during Operation Neptune (D-Day) was General Dwight "Ike" Eisenhower.Commander of the Naval phase was given to Admiral Sir Bertram Ramsey of the Royal Navy.Commander of all ground troops was given to FieldMarshall Bernard Montgomery.
He launched an invasion (codenamed Operation Barbarossa) into the Soviet Union. Many historians suggest that it was the largest mistake Hitler had made - he dedicated too many supplies and troops to Operation Barbarossa when he could've used that same man power to invade Great Britain (which would've given him a stronger foothold in the Atlantic).
