How Will You Remember Inauguration Day 2009?

President Barack Obama was sworn-in today as the 44th President of the United States of America. The Library of Congress permitted President Obama to be sworn in on the same bible President Lincoln used. After taking the oath, the President delivered his inaugural address and promising a new era of change for our country. The President declared that government can only do so much and that we, as citizens, must be responsible and help others.

On this historic day, where were you when the President was sworn-in? Did you watch it on campus? What will you remember most about today? Will you answer the President's call to service? We would like to hear from you on this important occasion. Feel free to leave us a comment below.

I just watched from home. Watching on campus would have been cool. I don't think I would have liked being in Washington though! I can't believe how many people were all packed in there!
