Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir/Battle Hymn of the Republic



For me, the highlight of this morning's second inauguration for President Obama was the 300-member Brooklyn Tabernacle Choir singing “The Battle Hymn of the Republic”.  It reminded me of why I decided to become an American Citizen in 2007, instead of remaining as a Resident Alien here. It also reminded me of two great quotations which are among those printed in my American passport:
"This is a new nation, based on a mighty continent, of boundless possibilities." 
[Theodore Roosevelt]
"We have a great dream. It started way back in 1776, and God grant that America will be true to her dream." [Martin Luther King]
