During WWII Churchill and FDR met on the HMS Prince of Wales for an Atlantic conference.

On Sunday they attended religious services on board the ship. Churchill selected the hymns. One of them was “Onward Christian Soldiers”. I have seen old film of the service and both Churchill and FDR were singing along with the men.

Churchill later remarked that less than a year later, most of those young sailors would be dead.

Quick! Call the ACLU and “Americans United for Separation of Church and State”! They’ll need to throw FDR and Churchill in prison for this!/sarc
