On Wednesday, July 20th, contractors began on-site construction to add FDR’s D-Day Prayer at the Circle of Remembrance at the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. Construction will continue through the summer and fall, to be completed sometime in November/December. It has been an eleven-year journey to get us to this point of breaking ground and putting the prayer in as a permanent addition to the WWII Memorial that will serve as a lasting tribute to our WWII veterans. Plans are being made for a special ceremony on Veterans Day of this year to celebrate the prayer’s addition.

Using FDR's faith-filled words from D-Day, June 6, 1944, a new prayer memorial is to be built this year
President Franklin D. Roosevelt trumpeted America's foundation of faith to inspire the nation in its finest hour: D-Day, June 6, 1944.
"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," FDR said resolutely on D-Day, leading a prayer that crackled from radios coast to coast and to service members and occupied nations around the globe.
Now, 78 years later, some Americans believe that his stirring call to spiritual arms can unite the nation once again and pay tribute to the sacrifice and commitment of our military and veterans.
"FDR’s prayer seemed to bring everybody together," said Chris Long of Akron, Ohio, leader of the D-Day Prayer Project, which aims to permanently install the prayer in D.C. "We hope it can speak to generations to come."
