Inauguration

So today I was at work when The 44th President of the United States was inaugurated. And I had the pleasure of enjoying it with a wonderful co-worker, Jason. We went to the cafe where hundreds of people were sitting at the tables enjoying the big screens. It gave me chills as I was about to watch one of the most profound moments in our history and our generation. I can't help but to say we all laughed a little when The President stumbled a little when taking the oath (possibly because it was like -25 outside), but as I stood there and was mesmerized by President Obama's magnificent speech I couldn't help but look around my colleagues and get the chills. Every single one of us in that room were either smiling or crying for joy. It is a day that I will never ever forget. Just as our parents have never forgotten the day JFK and Dr. Martin Luther King were killed. We will forever be remembered where we were when 9-11 happened. These are days in our history that we can only move forward from. It just makes me think someday what our children will see...
As Obama says at the end of every important speech,
"God bless you. And God bless the United States of America".
