English: CLAY ARMY NATIONAL GUARD CENTER, Marietta, Georgia, May 1, 2014– Sgt. Major James W. Grady, III, logistical professional for the Georgia National Guard poses with Lee Haney, an 8 time consecutive Mr. Olympia Bodybuilder titleholder and National Fitness Hall of Famer. The Georgia National Guard community congregated, Thursday morning, to commemorate the 62ndobservance of the National Day of Prayer in 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 justmonths before Congress established the annual prayer event in 1951. This year’s guest speaker, a devout Christian, compared his role in life to that of the chapel’s as it tirelessly serves the Dobbins community. “It is an institution unto itself with the chapters being rewritten at each turnof 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.
