D-Day invasion begins and President Roosevelt speaks to the nation.
"Almighty God: Our sons, pride of our nation, this day have set upon a mighty endeavor, a struggle to preserve our Republic, our religion, and our civilization, and to set free a suffering humanity."
"Many people have urged that I call the nation into a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer.
As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts."
- President Franklin D. Roosevelt
FDR D-Day Prayer, re-mixed with the movie, "Saving Private Ryan".
