greetings , dragoons chaplain mike for

00:03.000 --> 00:05.780
Doris to see our regimental chaplain

00:05.790 --> 00:09.100
and this today is the national day of

00:09.100 --> 00:12.760
prayer . I thought it important that we ,

00:12.770 --> 00:15.120
as an organization acknowledged in the

00:15.120 --> 00:17.490
National Day of Prayer . Prayer is

00:17.500 --> 00:21.480
absolutely foundational to nearly all

00:21.480 --> 00:23.590
of our major faith groups and it has

00:23.590 --> 00:25.757
been foundational just in the creation

00:25.757 --> 00:28.360
of our own United States of America

00:28.540 --> 00:32.240
1952 . Then President Truman

00:32.250 --> 00:35.010
created the first National Day of

00:35.010 --> 00:37.450
Prayer Declaration and signed it into

00:37.450 --> 00:40.180
law . And then nearly 30 years later ,

00:40.190 --> 00:43.220
President Reagan designated the first

00:43.230 --> 00:47.220
thursday of May as the official day

00:47.230 --> 00:49.940
of the National Day of Prayer . So
