Most of my adult life has been under the fog of the outgoing administration. Today, I sat in a cafe with three Egyptians, an Iranian, and three national guardsmen coming from Iowa and watched the inauguration of the first president in my lifetime who makes me proud to be American.
I didn't brave the crowd and the cold to stand on the mall, but I feel no less a part of this day. It is a great day for my country.
