Uneeq: Rav Schachter explains very well why feels that we are able to do such a thing (interestingly enough, he holds based on a Ramban that Yom Ha’atzma’ut is much more important than Yom Yerushalayim.) If you actually are interested, search for it on YUTorah. He’s given the Yom Ha’atzma’ut Shiur many times, I’m sure it’s on there.
