While the topic of National Prayer Breakfasts at local military installations was already discussed, the events continue to occur at various locations around the world.  At Fort Benning, a picture showed the nature of the breakfast within the military:

The celebration was open to all faiths and included prayers by Muslim imam Dawud Salahuddin Bin Pearson and Jewish Chaplain (MAJ) Carlos Huerta, 30th Adjutant General Battalion (Reception).

SSG(R) John Toland displayed an admirable view of religious freedom when he said he attended to support the Chaplains and all Soldiers:

“They defend our freedom to worship how we want to,” Toland said. “That’s one of the tenants of the Constitution: freedom of religion. You have Protestants…Catholics…Muslims…Jews… Buddhists.  Even though I don’t believe in (many) of those other faiths, I’ll support their right to worship. It’s what this country is about.”
