Monday was June 6, the anniversary of World War II D-Day (1944). Americans found out about the invasion that day, and that evening President Franklin Roosevelt did a radio broadcast - not to talk politics, but to ask them to pray with him.
"My fellow Americans . . I ask you to join with me in prayer.
"Almighty God, our sons, the 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 . . "
Yes, the president of the United States prayed to God over the radio.
