78th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings - Senator Rob Portman and Historian Bill Federer

Senator Rob Portman gives speech on the floor of the U.S. Senate in observance of the 78th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings. Senator Portman was the sponsor of S 1044 WWII Memorial Prayer Act that passed the U.S. Senate by unanimous consent on the eve of the 70th Anniversary of the D-Day Landings, then passed the U.S. House with broad bipartisan support, and was signed into law by President Obama on June 30, 2014. Each year, Senator Portman has gone to the floor on the anniversary of the D-Day Landings and has read the prayer of FDR. In this broadcast, we also present an update on the construction start of the prayer's addition to the WWII Memorial in Washington, D.C. 

Part 2  Author and historian Bill Federer joins OCA President Chris Long to discuss the D-Day Landings and FDR's D-Day Prayer that he prayed with the nation on the evening of D-Day, June 6, 1944. Bill discusses the importance of learning our history and that each generation must pass the knowledge of freedom on to the next generation. #ddayprayer  www.DDayPrayerProject.org    www.AmericanMinute.com
