I sat, as did millions of other Americans and watched as our goverment underwent a peaceful transition of power.
I was proud as Mr. Bush took his oath of office.
I was sad as I watched Mr. Clinton board Air Force One
for the final time. It may surprise you that this made
me sad. But watching this part of the days festivities,
I saw 21 U.S. Marines, in full dress, with rifles, fire
a 21 gun salute to the outgoing president.
It was then that I realized how far America's military
had deteriorated. Every last one of them missed....
