"Proud to Be"

Today I am more proud than ever to be an American. As I caught a glimpse of the Presidential Inauguration today, I couldn't help but be proud of what our new President has accomplished and what this country has accomplished by electing its first African American President.  I feel blessed to have been able to witness this moment in history and to have been partly responsible for making it happen. 

Even with all of the challenges facing our country and our new President, I feel a renewed sense of hope for our younger generations and I am optimistic  that together we can find a way to overcome the challenges ahead of us and that the world will follow our lead in striving for greatness and peace.
