A New Start

Our family has a new Marine recruit who will be protecting our nation, Steve Richards.

He has just finished basic training and will be at Camp Lejeune for his next assignment. His parents, Bill and Mary Richards, and the rest of his family are very proud of him!

My prayers and hopes for a fresh start for our nation commenced today with our new president, Barack Obama. What an enormous undertaking for one person to attempt. I can't imagine how the Obama's feel tonight. He is an inspiring and charismatic person. I pray he will be successful in his endeavors to rebuild our flailing country.

If you have a flag, hang it. If you don't, get one. We need to show our support for this President, our service people and our country.

Wouldn't it be awesome if we saw a flag hanging from every residence, even if it was a small one!!!
