I was 6 years old in January, 1961 when President Kennedy was inaugurated. I remember that in the moment when he said "The torch is passed to a new generation," it felt as if I reached up and took that torch into my hands. That moment informed the way I have tried to live my life as an American.
I am moved, proud and honored today to accept the call to service once again. May God bless and protect President Barack Hussein Obama.
