Last week, we took the boys on a driving tour of D.C. and a walking tour of Arlington Cemetery. It was great to introduce them to the concept of freedom and all that our country stands for. Service to country will be a big part of my new job, but I generally tend to focus more on the humanitarian aspect. Needless to say, arriving in D.C., getting a look at the new building where I will be working and the essence of freedom screaming throughout the grounds of Arlington cemetery, made me never more proud in my life to be an American citizen and I'm fired up more than I could have ever imagined, to give it all I have! I can't wait to get started and have to say I'm proud to be a part of it! I have never been more honored, than to be a representative of this, THE BEST country in the world!
I mean really, how can any U.S. citizen NOT come to D.C. and NOT get fired up about the USA! It was a privilege to share such loyalty and enthusiasm with my boys! And they embraced it with all they had! I think now we're ready (well after a bit here in D.C. we will be at least) to now learn about what "true" freedom really is as we explore the world and what is so special about the U.S. compared to other countries. Just a prediction, but my guess is we will only become more and more thankful and blessed to be Americans!
GOD BLESS THE USA!!
We are VERY Happy to be here in D.C and even more happy to be Americans . . . Let the journey begin . . .we're ready!!!
