Georgia Army National Guard Lt. Col. Blair Davis, chaplain, gives opening remarks as the Georgia National Guard community congregated, Thursday morning, to commemorate the 62nd observance of the National Day of Prayer. It is the first official ceremony for the rededicated Dobbins Air Base Chapel. The parallels were not verbally acknowledged but the assembly-line structure that has become a beacon of faith and hope for many was bestowed to the Marietta military community just months before Congress established the annual prayer event in 1951.This year’s guest speaker, Lee Haney, an 8 time consecutive Mr. Olympia Bodybuilder titleholder and devout Christian, compared his role in life to that of the chapel’s as it serves the Dobbins community.“It is an institution unto itself with the chapters being rewritten at each turn of the page,” Haney said. “The stories you share will carry forward to different generations and, as with this building, we inspire others with testimony revealing different aspects of those chapters and your spirit as a positive testimony to God and service.” (Georgia Army National Guard photo by Staff Sgt.
