Ah, but not for ALL religions it seems. We are cherry picking which religion to promote tolerance of and which religion to totally obliviate off the face of the earth.
While this point is accurate and irrefutable; it nevertheless has nothing to do with a memorial dedicated at the time. The folks involved at that time, it could arguably be said, had no agenda to erase christianity but perhaps, rather, to simply honour the fallen with their 'single purpose' memorial.
What of those avowed atheists who also sacrificed, would you now denigrate their memory by adding a prayer on their memorial? Perhaps even erase their names because they were non-believers. Yes I've also heard the one; "there are no atheists in a fox-hole". but that is an anecdote and this memorial is far more important than that little ditty.
ALL those being memorialized and honoured are treated the same irrespective of race, creed, religion or lack thereof. I ask again; how does adding words spoken by the president of the day in a publicized prayer embellish the honour that memorial already gives those fallen veteran's.
Perhaps, just perhaps those folks 60 years ago got it right the first time and left religiousity out of the equation entirely for a very good reason?
Michelle Obama's promise to rewrite our history has now become a reality.

"WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Obama administration is opposing legislation that would add President Franklin Roosevelt's D-Day prayer to the World War II Memorial in Washington D.C. At a House hearing Thursday, Robert Abbey, director of the Bureau of Land Management, said a plaque or inscription of the prayer that Roosevelt read on a radio broadcast to the nation on June 6, 1944, would "dilute" the memorial's central message. As U.S and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany, FDR asked the nation to join him in prayer. He then asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, "With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy." A World War II veteran, 87-year-old George "Poppy" Fowler, told a House committee that the prayer should be added to the memorial. He said, "This prayer came at a perilous time, yet it was answered in victory at a dear cost of lives." The legislation calls for the plaque or inscription to be paid for with private donations."

Does this latest salvo of US history suppression endorsed by the Obama administration and foretold by MO, cause you any concern about the direction the Obama regime is trying to force the country?
While the ACLU has been active before Obama, representing various anti Judeo-Christian groups, the speech by MO and the flood of attacks by federal agency heads on various war memorials , some located in remote desert and mountain areas, suggest a link between MO's words and a conscious attempt to rewrite US history?
The Obama administration has been more effective at rewriting our history than creating jobs...

Right on Sgt.Lamar FDR was not a Godless heathen our nation was gracious and merciful as victors our belief trust and reverence to God led US to victory.
Well, it appears that adding plaques to monuments after the fact is a popular idea around here. I can't wait to see the Sons of Confederate Veterans' addendum to the Lincoln monument.
