Humble- Grateful- Mindful. Words used today by the 44th President of the United States
In his Inauguration speech, Barack Obama called to mind the sacrifice that our ancestors made to come to America and forge a new democracy. He asked us to remain faithful to the ideas of our forbears and the founding documents that they created. Liberty and freedom for all. Words that ring in our ears, they are part of the national songs that we may sing; they are part of the pledge of allegiance we repeat. They are words that we may have come to take for granted in the United States. I spoke of the term immigrant energy in a previous post. I think it’s a similar concept- and includes the sacrifice that our ancestors made to create this great country that we live in.
We’ll need to all sacrifice to regain our greatness.
