"Chaplain Stendahl is a very motivated and inspirational speaker," said Chaplain Capt. Shannon Workman, 47th Flying Training Wing Chaplain.

"The Day of National Prayer dates back to a historic time in our nation's history where people of all religions gathered to pray for our nation, it's leaders and our nation's great future," said Chaplain Capt.
