House Passes FDR's D-Day Landing Prayer Inclusion at WWII Memorial

Press Release : Jan 26, 2012  Chris Long - Ohio Christian Alliance

"President Roosevelt's prayer articulated the great crusade that was underway to liberate millions suffering under tyranny. He honored the war effort and paid respect to the fallen and those veterans who fought courageously in the conflict. It is fitting that succeeding generations learn of this prayer that was offered at that most poignant moment in our nation's history." -OCA President, Chris Long

D-Day Landing Monument(Washington, DC)—On Tuesday, January 24, H.R. 2070, The D-Day Landing Prayer Act, which will include FDR's D-Day Landing Prayer in its entirety in a plaque or inscription at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C., passed the House of Representatives by a Vote of 386-26.

The bill now moves to the U.S. Senate for hearings.

Ohio Christian Alliance (OCA) President Chris Long stated, "This legislation received broad bipartisan support and is worthy of the Senate quickly taking up the measure and presenting it to President Obama for his signature. The vast majority of WWII veterans and their families support this initiative. Many of these brave men, now in their '80s and '90s, remember clearly President Roosevelt praying with the nation the morning of the D-Day landings. It is only fitting that this wonderful historical presidential prayer be added to the WWII Memorial, honoring those brave men and women who served our country in WWII.

"President Roosevelt's prayer articulated the great crusade that was underway to liberate millions suffering under tyranny. He honored the war effort and paid respect to the fallen and those veterans who fought courageously in the conflict. It is fitting that succeeding generations learn of this prayer that was offered at that most poignant moment in our nation's history."

We commend Congressman Bill Johnson of Ohio's 6th District and the Congressional co-sponsors of this historic legislation.

We therefore urge members of the U.S. Senate to follow the example of their Congressional counterparts and support the FDR D-Day Prayer Act and pass this legislation that will allow its inclusion at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.
