The World War II Memorial
“The real fire within the builders of America was faith – faith in a Provident God whose hand supported and guided them: faith in themselves as the children of God … faith in their country and its principles that proclaimed man’s right to freedom and justice.”
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Thirty-fourth President of the United States
During World War II, the government issued seventeen million Bibles to the soldiers with a message in them from Generals Eisenhower and Marshall. In addition, many of the government printed World War II posters contained religious imagery.
The World War II Memorial was officially dedicated May 32, 2004, Memorial Day. In his proclamation for a day of prayer for permanent peace, President George W. Bush offered these words on behalf of a grateful nation.
“Today, all who wear the uniform of the United States are serving at a crucial hour in history, and each has answered a great call to serve our Nation on the front lines of freedom. As we continue to fight terrorism and promote peace and freedom, let us pray for the safety and strength of our troops, and for God’s blessing on them and their families, and for those that have lost love ones.”
Arlington National Cemetery
The inscription on the Tomb of the Unknowns reads, “Here Rests In Honored Glory An American Soldier Known But To God.”
John F. Kennedy
“The rights of man come not from the generosity of the state but from the hand of God.”
John F. Kennedy
Thirty-fifth President of the United States
Kennedy’s inaugural address concluded:
“With a good conscience our only sure reward, with history the final judge of our deeds, let us go forth to lead the land we love, asking His blessing and His help but knowing that here on earth, God’s work must truly be our own.”
For a very insightful conclusion to this book, pick up a copy of "Rediscovering God in America" by Newt Gingrich featuring the photography of Callista Gingrich.
