Inauguration Day--Never Forget How Good We Have It

Today is a great day to be an American! From a history that developed one of the first true democracies and bestowed upon us true selfless, in every sense of that word, heroes like George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and James Madison. To a country that has given courage to leaders like Abe Lincoln who stuck to principle in leading the abolition of slavery and Franklin Roosevelt who fought a just war to brush back imperial tyranny. To a great land that has given opportunity and a desire to explore to innovators like Edison, the Wright Brothers, and countless aeronautic brave souls who tested the boundaries of discovery in the NASA program and, at times, gave their lives to quench our curious thirst, all the while pursuing technology to strengthen our Republic. To a land that gave fundamental rights to the individual that allowed Susan B. Anthony and Elizabeth Stanton to demand their constitutional privilege to vote, gave Martin Luther King the authority to demand equality and instilled in Cesar Chavez hope in the difficult mountain he desired to climb that would one day allow migrant workers to have dignity. To the Union that demands success if the individual citizen works hard. To the country that allows us to pick our leaders and has created a culture of revoltless transfers of power. To the country that will always have a face of charity and compassion for God's people. To the Republic that expects greatness and has the arrogance to pursue it. To the United States that allows us all to look forward to better and brighter days. To my great country!! Cheers!!!
