As I watch the TV today, I am so thankful for this nation in which I live. I have been so blessed to be born in the "Land of the Free". I can vividly remember watching my Grandfather's face as the flag was carried past his house on the Riverdale parade route. I remember the impact that had on me. We need to raise our children to be patriotic again. I believe our children should be raised to love this country and to stand behind our leaders.
Today is such a significant day in history. Today, our first African-American president is being sworn in. I wonder, do we realize the impact on our nation, our world. Not too many years ago - our outgoing president and our new president couldn't sit at a counter and have a cup of coffee together. This is progress.
I hope this is the beginning of a world of true racial equality. I hope this is the start of true change. I watch my children and just hope for the best for them. I want them to be good honest people who look at people's minds & hearts - not the color of their skin.
I hope we as a nation can band together - work together. This nation is amazing, anything can happen here - and anything does happen here. I hope we can band together - regardless of our political position and be the greatest nation. We all have to work and believe in America.
I am so proud to be an American. I can't imagine raising my children in any other nation. I look to my children's future with hope.
