<br>
This is the most important day of my life.<br>
<br>
In all my life, I have never said that I love my country.<br>
<br>
Until now, I have loved and liked my country for what <br>
it could be, for what it accomplished in the past, but<br>
not for what it has been during my lifetime. <br>
<br>
With the inauguration of Barack Obama, with the spirit<br>
I have seen in this day, with the thoughts expressed<br>
in his address, the world has changed for me.<br>
<br>
Now, just now, I truly feel that I can love my country<br>
at this moment for what it is.<br><br></font></b></font><font face="Tahoma"><b><font face="Arial">Please forgive this personal message.</font></b></font><br><font face="Tahoma"><b><font face="Arial">
