Thoughts on whatever...

I’ll never forget this night as long as I live.  November 4th, 2008, for the first time in it’s history, the United States has elected a Black man to the highest office in the nation: President of the United States.  Barack Obama has been projected as the winner of the 2008 election by a very impressive margin, winning states that were once considered out of reach for a Democrat…especially a Black Democrat.  I’m so blessed to have witnessed this.  I’ve always loved my country, in fact for four years I wore the uniform and put my life on the line for my country.  I can honestly say, however, that I have never loved my country more than I do at this moment, and I have never been more proud to be an American.  This is a great moment for ALL Americans, not just Black Americans or minorities.  This country was founded on the principle that “all men are created equal”.  We have finally put that into practice, and no matter what side of the political spectrum you are on, you must agree on that.  You must also agree on how beautiful this moment is for Black families throughout the United States, mothers and fathers who can now encourage their child to aim for the highest possible goals…anything is now within reach for anybody in this nation.  God Bless America!!
