D-Day Prayer: Franklin D. Roosevelt Radio Address Copywork (e-book)

Following the Allied landing in Normandy, France, President Franklin D. Roosevelt called the nation to prayer and led the nation in a prayer for the more than 50,000 U.S. troops who had landed, as well as more than 70,000 Canadian and British troops. While the world waited to see the outcome of this pivotal moment in World War II, anxious parents and family members waited for word of loved ones. Thousands would not return home. President Roosevelt prayed for those fighting, those waiting at home, and those who would be lost, and he encouraged the nation to continue in prayer.
