I'm actually proud of the company I work for

I'm not allowed to copy and paste the E-mail, but the company I work for just sent out a company wide announcement encouraging all employees to participate in the National Day of Prayer on Thursday, May 2. The E-mail stated that all activities will be non denominational but employees are asked to take a few moments to pray for our nation and it's leaders. The E-mail was sent from our CEO and even qoutes a few verses from the Bible in it. It encourages sites to hold organized prayer meetings and lets those of other faiths know that if they are not comfortable with the type of gathering that is organized, they are encouraged to take some time tomorrow to "pray in whatever manner would be deemed appropriate for their religion".
I know at one time, this was standard practice but I must say that today this E-mail shows a lot of courage on behalf of our CEO. I'm sure he will catch some flack for it, but I for one applaud his courage. This is the type of action that our forefathers meant when they sought freedom of religion. Not the "Freedom from religion" that we see nowadays.
