This is a day that makes me think of all the things this destiny means to me. The beauty of our land, the diversity of our people, of knowing that I have your back and you have mine. The thought that repression of your individual rights is repugnant to me and to all you legal citizens here, the knowledge that being of a nation that upholds freedoms is ultimate joy, I truly feel blessed that this is where fate put me in this world. I am thankful for my country, community, for all life's goodness. On this day of great sorrow, I am thankful for my life.
