A Historic Time

Earlier this afternoon, as I watched the NFC Championship Game I also was frequently switching the TV channel to HBO, which broadcasted a concert taking place at the Lincoln Memorial in celebration of Barack Obama's upcoming inauguration .  Many of the images from this broadcast were amazing.  The crowd was enormous and the Washington, D.C. scenery was beautiful, but the image that I will remember most from this event was that of President-elect Obama speaking to the audience with the Lincoln statue in the background.  As our country gets ready to inaugurate its first African-American President one cannot help but feel proud and excited at the progress our country has made.  When Americans and people all around the world watch President-elect Obama become President Obama we will all be witnesses to history.  This is a moment to remember and celebrate.
