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 6^th 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.

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..."

OCA will bring you updates on this important federal legislation.
