Funny the things we remember The Challenger Explosion The 11th of September Things like the L.A Riots The invasion of Kuwait Hurricane Katrina destroying Louisiana Plastered like a bomb Sadness for us to grab Usually the happy times Get lost in an Ad Well there is one moment I will never forget When the country got the 44th President; 12 Midnight he came on the screen Cheers erupted in the streets, Now we get that feeling again Proud to be American 1-20-09 will go down in History And one happy moment makes The front page

So true that tragedies get more press than victories, (usually reserved for sporting events.) Well done Melani! Best wishes, Keith

Such a fantastic theme here...This is what people need to focus on...the positivity we can channel from this great day. Lets hope the media catches on to the fact that we're tired of the negative spin put on everything in our World. Nice write!! Much love, Steve
