	-----Original Message-----
	
	I KNEW OF THIS BUT A REMINDER IS ALWAYS WELCOME. I ONLY WISH THOSE
	RESPONSIBLE WOULD BE EXPOSED AND MADE ACCOUNTABLE.
	
	
	SHALL WE HIRE A MONUMENT ENGRAVER TO GO TO ARLINGTON NATIONAL
CEMETERY AND
	ADD THE MISSING WORDS ? 
	
	A MESSAGE 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?????????"
	
	
	Send this around to your friends People need to know before everyone
	forgets. 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! 
	
	If you agree, pass this on. If not, 
	! 
	May God Bless YOU!
