This final days of the 2008 Presidential Campaign was a turning point for me. I am a boomer, meaning I was around, very loudly I might add, in the 60's. I marched for peace, I protested against the Viet Nam War, I marched for racial and women's equality. I had to live through the tragic deaths of JFK, RFK and Dr. King. I had the honor of attending the funeral of JFK even though it was an event I wish did not have to happen. The were masses of people at the funeral of JFK. There were even more at Inauguration of President Obama. It was a celebration. It took 50 long years for this event to become possible and I was elated to have it happen in my lifetime. While the 50 years were a long time to wait, there were at last epic results. I place the importance of President Obama's inauguration right up there with my husband and my family. I am grateful to everyone who joined me in supporting and getting Barack Obama elected as our 44th President of the United States of America. Thank You President Obama, God Bless You and God Bless the United States of America
