I received this e-mail today-- I have never had a chance to get to the World War II Memorial( but hope to some day) so don't know if this is true or not.... BUT IF IT IS IT'S A TRAVESTY :!: 
And I know that the lady was right- the last words of FDR's speach was "so help us God"..
In the name of the Liberals, Secularists, Socialists, and One World Order Economy we have sold out GOD
WHEN WILL WE TAKE OUR COUNTRY BACK???
