BLM Opposes Prayer Plaque at WWll Memorial

Pulaski note: Apparently being a land management expert also makes you an expert in depicting historical "messages" to the public. From thegatewaypundit.com -The Obama Administration announced its objection to including President Roosevelt’s prayer on the World War II Memorial in Washington DC.   Roosevelt asked the nation to join him in prayer as U.S. and allied troops launched the invasion that led to the defeat of Nazi Germany. He asked God to give the allied troops courage and faith, saying, “With thy blessing we shall prevail over the unholy forces of our enemy.” But Robert Abbey, the director of the Bureau of Land Management, said any plaque or inscription of the prayer would “dilute” the memorial’s central message and therefore “should not be altered.” “It is not a judgment as to the merit of this new commemoration, simply that altering the Memorial in this way, as proposed in HR 2070, will necessarily dilute this elegant memorial’s central message and its ability to clearly convey that message to move, educate, and inspire its many visitors,” Abbey said in written testimony.  More News New Mexico
