America the Beautiful
Today at work, every TV was tuned to CNN. Lunch times were made flexible to allow everyone to watch the historic event. I literally had goosebumps throughout the inauguration. There are no words to fully grasp the significance of today, so I leave you with the words of our new President:
America. In the face of our common dangers, in this winter of our hardship, let us remember these timeless words. With hope and virtue, let us brave once more the icy currents, and endure what storms may come. Let it be said by our children’s children that when we were tested we refused to let this journey end, that we did not turn back nor did we falter; and with eyes fixed on the horizon and God’s grace upon us, we carried forth that great gift of freedom and delivered it safely to future generations. Thank you. God bless you. And God bless the United States of America. -Barack Obama, 44th President of the United States of America
