This was pretty much the view I got Wednesday night sitting on the national mall watching the fireworks, it was spectacular.
As I watched the stunning show, I experienced a deep sense of appreciation. I am so fortunate... to live in the United States, to have been born into a middle-class home, to have gone to a good school, and to have traveled the world. This privileged life I live was not mere coincidence or good fortune, rather, it came with a price. The price was paid by my forefathers, by the brave men/women of the armed forces and by my immigrant parents...
and to them I say thank you.
