“Many people have urged that I call the Nation to a single day of special prayer. But because the road is long and the desire is great, I ask that our people devote themselves in a continuance of prayer. As we rise to each new day, and again when each day is spent, let words of prayer be on our lips, invoking Thy help to our efforts. … Thy will be done, Almighty God.“
– President Franklin Roosevelt, D-Day Radio Address and Prayer, June 6, 1944
