SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL CEMETERY AND ADD THE MISSING WORDS?

"A government big enough to give you everything you want,is strong enough to take everything you have". Thomas Jfferson
 

New WWII Monument in Washington, D.C.

 
THIS IS FROM AN APPALLED OBSERVER:

Today I went to visit the
 new World War II Memorial in Washington, DC. I got an unexpected history lesson. Because I'm a baby  boomer, I was one of the youngest in the crowd. Most were the age of my parents, Veterans  of 'the greatest war,' with their families.. It was a beautiful day, and people were smiling and happy to be there. Hundreds of us milled around the memorial, reading the inspiring words of Eisenhower and Truman that are engraved there.

On the Pacific side of the memorial, a group of us gathered to read the words President Roosevelt used to announce the attack on Pearl Harbor :

'Yesterday, December 7, 1941--a date which will live in infamy--the United States of America was suddenly and  deliberately attacked.'

One elderly woman read the words aloud:

'With confidence in our armed forces, with the abounding  determination of our people, we will gain the inevitable triumph.'

But as she read, she was suddenly turned angry. 'Wait a minute,' she said, 'they left out the end of the quote. They  left out  the most important part. Roosevelt ended the  message with
 'so help us God.'

Her husband said, 'You are probably right. We're not   supposed to say things like that now.'

'I know I'm right,' she insisted. 'I remember the speech..' The two looked dismayed, shook their heads sadly and  walked away.

Listening to their conversation, I thought to myself, 'Well, it has been over 50 years; she's probably forgotten.'

But she had not forgotten.
 She was right..

I  went home  and pulled out the book my book club is reading --- 'Flags of Our Fathers' by James Bradley. It's all  about the battle at Iwo Jima.
   
I haven't gotten too far in the book. It's tough to read because it's a graphic description of the WWII battles in the Pacific.

But right there it was on page 58. Roosevelt 's speech to the nation ends in '
so help us God.'

The people who edited out that part of the speech when they engraved it on the memorial could have fooled me. I was born after the war! But they couldn't fool the people who were there. Roosevelt 's words are  engraved on their hearts.

Now I ask:
 'WHO GAVE THEM THE RIGHT TO CHANGE THE WORDS OF HISTORY?????????'

People today are trying to change the history of America by leaving God out of it, but the truth is, God has been a  part of this nation, since the beginning. He still wants to  be...and He always will be!
