Saturday marks the 71st anniversary… D-Day

remembering-d-day-1

Saturday marks the 71st anniversary of the largest amphibious assault in the history of the modern world. We commonly refer to this day as D-Day — the day that Allied forces stormed the beaches to begin driving the German forces back into Germany.

Significantly, President Franklin Roosevelt — who guided the nation through most of World War II — avowed that the war was caused by the anti-Christianity of Hitler and the Nazis. Watch as David Barton plays this explanation by President Roosevelt and explains how this affected America’s efforts at home and overseas.

In fact, as part of pushing back against the anti-Christianity, David Barton of WallBuilders also shows you many of the unique military Bibles of WWII. We have also posted a number of interesting WWII and D-Day artifacts from our library:

Heart Shield Bible
General Eisenhower’s D-Day Message
President Roosevelt’s D-Day Prayer
The History of D-Day
