FDR'S D-DAY PRAYER JUNE 6TH, 1944

Films such as "Saving Private Ryan", "The Thin Red Line", and "U 571" bring to life the struggles of a whole generation of Americans who fought tyranny in World War II. No movie, however, could adequately capture the sense of dedication and courage which so many ordinary men and women demonstrated in order to bring an end to the horrors that were being committed against innocent people around the world. Sadly, this generation is passing on, as about 1,000 of these heroes are now dying each day due to old age. We must remember and honor these great people to whom America--and you and I--owe everything.

June 6, 1944 is the Anniversary of D-Day. On that day, Allied soldiers stormed onto the French coast to begin the liberation of Europe, then still firmly in Hitler’s grip. It was a bitter struggle for those first units, and by the end of the day, 4,900 soldiers had given their lives. Across the US, people fell to their knees in prayer; churches, synagogues were packed; the Liberty Bell was sounded; and people openly wept. It was a day of millions of prayers for the welfare of our troops and the success of the mission. That night, President Roosevelt went on radio to lead the Nation in prayer:

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 . . . They fight to end conquest…
They fight to liberate . . .
They yearn but for the end of battle,
for their return to the haven of home.

Success may not come with rushing speed,
but we shall return again and again;
and we know by Thy grace, and the righteousness
of our cause, our sons will triumph.
Thy will be done, Almighty God, Amen.

Chaplain Mitch Schranz

Lol!!: My Mom said I once asked what “bethel” meant. Admittedly confused, she asked me where I heard it, and she said I told her, “like when the Wise Men came to “bethel” Him....” God bless kids! No matter where we come from, we start out thinking alike! I used to work with someone who was from China. She said when she was little, she and a friend tried to dig a hole to get to America!

is that why Rudolph's Nose gets RED? He gets angry.

Thank you, Kathy, that was great! Next time I visit, I’ll check out his pictures again- he likes to talk with me, especially now that he’s older. It never ceases to amaze me. ((Hugs)) God bless all of them!

[Grateful2God]

No problem! Nothing here do surprises me either way... Very cool about the correction, though! God bless you!

After seeing Ms. B with that rifle, I’m going to have to be very, very careful giving her a gentle hug. She looks formidable with that thing!

[BykrBayb]

Thanks for the ping.
They sure are looking good.

If he’s willing to talk to you, get all the history you can...his unit, where all they went, and any paperwork. Preserve all you can.

Enjoy your next visit, and give him our thanks.

LOL! I think both Ms B AND Luv W are pretty good shots.

[Grateful2God]

One good mea culpa deserves another, lol!

What I meant was, "Nothing he does"... I was looking through my ping list and found that... Whoops!

God bless!

I love the “bethel”...

What kids hear makes perfect sense to their little ears.
