Yes, Rev. Lowry is inspiring at 87... and let us go forward from this day to support the new president and work to bring renewed hope to the United States. I did not vote for him, but I am on board. Everyone has an oar. We all need to row. There is no room for destructive viewpoints in this lifeboat any longer. We are all in this together...economy, terror, drug culture, Islam's nuclear threat, inner city turmoil, vanishing jobs, perishing schools, marital values and basic civility.

We are a Band of Brothers and Sisters...as we used to sing in 'Nam, "We'll all go down together"...but we do not have to.
