Inauguration happenings
 
Does anyone know of any Inauguration activities here in TV? I don't necessarily mean officially planned. How about informal gatherings to watch the events on tv and have a drink???? This is such a historic event, I'd think there might be some celebrating going on somewhere?

Yes, there are many Inauguration gatherings planned all around TV. This is truly a day of joy and hope. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

It's A Proud Moment
 
Was it just me or did this inauguration put a lump in your throat? And I'm not talking politics. It's times like this that makes me push out my chest and say "Damn, it's great to be an American."

I found it very moving and I shed some tears. Yes, I had a lump in my throat, too. I'm very excited about our new leader - may God Bless and protect him and those serving with him!

F16, I absolutely agree with you. To see the hundreds of thousands of smiling faces was wonderful to behold. God Bless President Obama and God Bless America. :eclipsee_gold_cup:

Our youngest son got tickets (via his girlfriend and the Alaskan lottery), so I've been living it vicariously. Wonderful!!
