Mike and Kathy Lozano go to the Barak
Obama Inauguration January 20, 2009
It was great to
experience an event that makes history. This was such an event
and I knew I had to see it up close and live. I felt the
significance of just being there. It gave me great pride in
our country's ability to recognize the will of its people. As
Abraham Lincoln said, great governments have to be "of the people,
by the people, and for the people". It was very exciting to
just be there for this grand occasion. I have to say that God was
watching over us once again. We didn't know how we would be
able to do this but things just started to fall in place. I
happened to hear about a second cousin that I never met (Nicole
Lozano Barnard) who lived near Washington D.C. I called her up
and the next thing I knew we were invited to stay at her
house. She happened to work for the Federal Government and was
able to help us figure out how to get around to the various
inaugural events. Her mother Yvonne Zarate took and picked us up
each day so we never felt without support for parking or
transportation. We joined two million other people. We
were so proud to be Americans. We saw thousands of people
wearing every type of Barak Obama merchandise imaginable and waving
American flags. Some people went out of their way to be friendly.
We were there at 3:30 a.m. for the inaugural parade, and
still thousands of people were already waiting. The Secret
Service tried to clear the streets at 4:30 a.m. so people who had
waited all night on the streets had to move outside
checkpoints. By this time with temperatures hovering around 20
degrees we all felt like popsicles. I sat on a piece of
cardboard to try to stay warm. It helped a little, but Kathy
got so cold that she went off looking for a place to get some coffee
and get out of the cold. I stayed and tried to hold our place
in line. I was sorry to see some families who had stayed so
many hours finally give up and walk away disappointed. We felt
like them also but we stuck it out. After twelve hours of
waiting we finally got to see the President and his wife walking
down Pennsylvania Avenue. He looked very presidential.
He wore a black overcoat over his suit, red tie and black
scarf. Michelle Obama wore a lemon grass color dress designed
by a Cuban American designer. She looked very beautiful.
Everywhere there were cheers and tears of happiness. Many of
the people in the crowd talked about their feelings of hope and a
better future for our country. It will be remembered as an
historic event and we were glad to be a part of it.
