From the crown of her head to the souls of her feet (and under the pedestal) the Statue Of Liberty is a very special part of the identity of the American culture. Ever since the terrorist attacks on our country on September 11, 2001; the crown of the Statue of Liberty has been closed [...]

There is a debate brewing about whether news media should have access to photograph the coffins of returning military men and women, killed in the line of duty, when their bodies are returned to Dover Air Force Base. There is strong controversy about whether this should be allowed or not. In 1991, President George H. Bush [...]

I can’t believe all of the different things that this inauguration appears to mean to each person that i talk to or read about. Some people are moved to tears by the inspiration of it all. Some people are in awe of the historical nature. For others it is more personal; they have invested so [...]

It is a historical moment in time, this presidential inauguration of 2009; just like every other presidential inauguration since the beginning of the United States. Yet, this one feels different. It feels as though this particular inauguration is getting more attention than any other one, in my memory. I did not personally vote [...]

People are funny; when things get tight…their fists often get tighter; but not always. This year, like no other year in recent memory, people are hurting. They are hurting in many areas financially. Many have lost their homes, their jobs, their savings…along with medical coverage. It is a difficult time for many in our nation. Most [...]

This week we celebrated two very special things here in the United States: one was Monday, November 10th which was the Marine Corps Birthday…and yesterday, which was Veteran’s Day. Both dates give honor to our military men and women. We should celebrate our armed forces because they sacrifice so much for us. We have [...]

This election has electrified American’s like no other election in my memory. People have strong reactions to the ups and downs on the daily news. The media’s interpetation of what is happening minute- by- minute in the run for the Presidency of the United States is very slanted in it’s presentation. It gives the impression [...]
