  • "Whether it’s the pursuit of prosperity for our people or the struggle for equality for all our citizens, our commitment to stand up for our values abroad, and our sacrifices to make the world a safer place. Let us remember that we can do these things not just because of wealth or power, but because of who we are, one nation under God, indivisible with liberty and justice for all. Thank you. May God bless you. And may God bless the United States of America."  President Obama, 5/1/2011<br />

Not the photo I planned to share today, when I took this on Saturday, but it seems very appropriate now.<br />
