On a day like today, it doesn't matter much who voted for whom. All of the USA and the world celebrated the transfer of power from one President to the next without a hitch. It's called democracy. And, in the middle of all the pomp and circumstance was an incredibly powerful and inspirational inaugural address.President Obama delivered a pretty significant speech -- at least it impacted me. But, I must say that the following was most compelling, personally:
As we consider the road that unfolds before us, we remember with humble gratitude those brave Americans who, at this very hour, patrol far-off deserts and distant mountains. They have something to tell us, just as the fallen heroes who lie in Arlington whisper through the ages. We honor them not only because they are guardians of our liberty, but because they embody the spirit of service; a willingness to find meaning in something greater than themselves. And yet, at this moment — a moment that will define a generation — it is precisely this spirit that must inhabit us all.
