National Prayer Breakfast inspires fellowship
Chaplain (Col.) Gerald D. McManus, gives a speech during the National Prayer Breakfast at Mission’s End at Whiteman Air Force Base, Mo., Feb. 19, 2014. The National Prayer Breakfast, formerly known as the Presidential Prayer Breakfast, has roots in a rich tradition dating back to 1942 when leaders in the Senate and House of Representatives met weekly for prayer out of concern for the U.S.’s involvement in World War II. Service members continue the America's tradition of celebrating individual diverse faith backgrounds (U.S. Air Force photo by Staff Sgt. Nick Wilson/Released)
