You should have been there

I'll try to post a photo later if I can, took them with my phone of all things. I decided to visit a Basic Military Training Chapel service. Blew me away. I entered the chapel ten minutes before service was to begin. Already hundreds of airmen standing and singing chorus after chorus of worship songs. The place was vibrating and electrifying. When the service began and the praise band came in, when you think it couldn't get more powerful and with another few hundred airmen arriving, it was so inspiring I could hardly hold back the tears. Young men and women singing at the top of their lungs, hands in the air, rocking back and forth. It seemed like a worship "mosh pit", arm in arm, hand in hand, the worship was like nothing I've ever been a part of. Needless to say I'll be back again. Just to see our newest, young men and women, airmen in service of our country, worshipping. It will change the way you think about military young people. Dr. D.
