June 6, 1944, then President Franklin Delano Roosevelt announced to the nation an ambitious undertaking that would bring about Victory in World War Two, the invasion of Europe.
He went on the radio and led the nation in prayer that the undertaking be successful and tyranny be brought to an end.
What a stark contrast to today when Democrats abhor public prayer under Separation of Church and State.
Roosevelt's D-Day Prayer
On June 6, 1984, then President Ronald Reagan traveled back to the beaches of Normandy to commemorate the 40th Anniversary of the D-Day invasion.
His inspiring speech may be seen here.
God Speed and protect those who today are once again in harm’s way fighting against an even more brutal enemy than we faced 65 years ago.

Good Job, Lew! Looks like we both were on the same page while our creative self was at work. I enjoyed reading your thoughts immensely. I especially enjoyed your closing thoughts: "God Speed and protect those who today are once again in harm’s way fighting against an even more brutal enemy than we faced 65 years ago." To that a big AMEN!
Thanks for staying in the mix and for having outstanding personal integrity to say what needs to be said.
