My Salute to the USA by KimberlyClaire

I just got back from voting in our presidential election. It was cold and raining and the line was really long and of course it was…outside. As I stood there with my fellow Americans, I observed Moms struggling with their infants, teenagers hanging with their parents, senior citizens trying to maneuver their umbrellas and I even saw 1^st time voters. Every “walk of life” was standing in this line.   I suddenly felt very proud and honored that I live in a country where we still have the privilege to vote. At that moment, I no longer cared about the long line or that it was cold and raining.  What I did care about though was that I had the ability and opportunity to stand in the long line while it was cold and raining. I cared that my single vote still counts in this country. I cared that living in the United States and being able to vote on election day makes me very proud to be an American.  Not only did I care but I felt……honored. -KimberlyClaire

Scarf: Free People

"Let every person be in subjection to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those which exist are established by God. Therefore he who resists authority has opposed the ordinance of God; and they who have opposed will receive condemnation upon themselves."
