Yes We Did

This is a very emotional day. I am overwhelmed. I will be watching and a part of it even from my own living room. This a a moment for all of us.

I am proud to be an American.

I have never said that before, had these feelings of patriotism. Patriotism equalled jingoism.

Then I moved to Europe. And, I had the opportunity of meeting peoples from all over - who had pride in their country. Had pride in things built in their country, that represented their country. And I wondered.

And then there was this election. And, today, I stand up as an American.
