I'm afraid that the generation who truly celebrates this day is gradually dying out. Ours is the last generation who had at least heard about this war immediately from those who fought it. When my grandfather was alive I always visited him on this day and congratulated him.
Now when I see all that pomp and pathos from billboards, tv screens, etc it doesn't feel right somehow. It all is just for show. Oh, in theory I would agree that certain efforts should be made to make the young remember this day, but I doubt this day will be as important for them as it is for the older people.
