The card talks about Washington’s Prayer at Valley Forge( yes I know about the late Arnold Freiberg’s painting of it). The only problem with this is that the evidence that Washington prayed at Valley Forge is quite weak. As Ardis would say the provenace is not strong. The story about the prayer at Valley Forge has about as much evidence to support it as the story about the boy Washington chopping down the cherry tree.

The message of the card about the importance of prayer is good but I wish the authors wouldn’t have supported it by dubious stories.

The card has a picture of Eishenhower (who is alleged to have prayed before D-Day). There is a good story in Geoffrey Perrets biogaphy of Eishenhower about how he approached prayer.
At the first cabinet meeting of the Eishenower Administration Ezra Taft Benson ,who of course was Secretary of Agriculture suggested they open the meeting with prayer and offered one. After that they would have a moment of silent prayer to start the meeting.

One time they started without the prayer and an aide passed a note to Eisenhower telling him this. Eisnhower said “G—it we forgot the prayer.”
