Franklin D. Roosevelt
CBS
D-Day Prayer
por
On June 6, 1944, President Franklin D. Roosevelt addressed the nation with a prayer for the Allied forces beginning the invasion of Normandy. In a solemn radio broadcast, he asked listeners to join him in prayer for the servicemen facing danger and for the people of occupied Europe.
Roosevelt’s measured delivery gives the address the character of a public prayer rather than a conventional political speech. Its language reflects the gravity of D-Day and offers a moment of shared reflection during a pivotal event of the Second World War.
