WWII Memorial Prayer Project

Congressman Bill Johnson of Ohio's 6th District announced at the Ohio Christian Alliance Spring Freedom Banquet that he is seeking co-sponsors and will soon introduce legislation that will include President Franklin Delano Roosevelt's D-Day Landing Prayer on the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C.

At the request of  OCA President Chris Long, Congressman Bill Johnson had agreed to introduce this legislation and is seeking bipartisan support for the inclusion of FDR's June 6, 1944 D-Day Landing Prayer in which President FDR announced to the nation the invasion of fortress Europe by Allied Forces.  This June 6th will mark the 67th year since that historic day.

OCA President Chris Long made the following statement:  "FDR's D-Day Landing Prayer that he prayed with the nation over the airwaves on June 6,1944 is a historic event that has been lost and forgotten in recent years.  Yet, President FDR's prayer articulates the noble cause of the war and the sacrifice made by brave men and women of that great generation:

"Almighty God:  Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a might endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity..."
