Chaplain (Col.) Mark A. Penfold leads a group of Fort Jackson community members during a prayer during the National Day of Prayer May 5 at the post flag pole. The National Day of Prayer is a historic day where Americans traditionally pray for the country. The modern national day of prayer was

enacted by law in 1952, but traces its lineage to the Second Continental Congress which asked for American colonists to pray for the Continental Army.
