"Our Founding Fathers, faced with perils we can scarcely imagine, drafted a charter to assure the rule of law and the rights of man, a charter expanded by the blood of generations.

I feel so proud to be a part of it all. I could not help but think of all the people that paved the way to get where we are today. Here is to continuing to inspire people into action! Let us all pull each other up. I would look at the crowd of people miles and miles away yet "there" and tear up. I felt moved.
Clearly, I am in the minority here. :)
The minority in not being proud... I certainly hope so.
