[Chapter-delegates] I weep for joy

[Gene Gaines]

 *I weep for joy.

This is the most important day of my life.

In all my life, I have never said that I love my country.

Until now, I have loved and liked my country for what
it could be, for what it accomplished in the past, but
not for what it has been during my lifetime.

With the inauguration of Barack Obama, with the spirit
I have seen in this day, with the thoughts expressed
in his address, the world has changed for me.

Now, just now, I truly feel that I can love my country
at this moment for what it is.

**Please forgive this personal message.*
