This is My Flag

This is my flag. "Old Glory", the "Stars and Stripes," the "Star-Spangled Banner" and "Red, White and Blue." I have a deeply patriotic soul.

Having the privilege of homeschooling has given me a chance to re-learn about the history of America. There are so many rich details that never get taught in school and it saddens me. I am constantly in awe and reverence of the ordinary individuals that undertook extraordinary measures to give this country birth and ensure everlasting freedom.

Inauguration Day in America is always an historical event, however, today is more symbolic than most. We are inaugurating an African-American president. His inauguration represents a narrowing of the chasm of hatred and prejudice. Whether his presidency inspires hope in some or fear in others, we can all stand together and be proud of the "process." Our Constitution and Bill of Rights have stood the test of time and the process works every time.

There's no place in the world I'd rather be than the home of the brave and land of the free. This is my flag...

God Bless all of you!
