We Stood in Awe at the Inauguration
January 20, 2009
We made our way out of the hotel’s front lobby at 6:30 a.m. bundled in our ski gear, bran muffin in hand, walking to the metro station at Pentagon City. There was a wind chill of a smooth 12 degrees and all roads into the District of Columbia were closed for security. We quickly made it onto the subway train for a ten-minute ride to the Chinatown station where we would strike out on foot toward the gate for the purple ticket holders on the Senate side of the Capitol.

After a brisk twenty-minute walk, we found ourselves in line with several thousand people trying to get into the grounds of the Capitol. The gates would not open until 8:00 a.m. to start screening people through security. When they did open, we witnessed one more failure of the U.S. Government; fifty to sixty security agents with eighteen x-ray machines only allowing five persons at the time to go through. At this rate, we saw little hope of making the 11:30 Inaugural of President Obama.

An hour and a half later, someone took charge of the security and started allowing a steady flow of weary line standers inside. Reverend Mart Gray and his ten-year old son, John, who travelled with us, had gotten separated in the crowd and were a couple hundred feet behind. They would not get in. Nearing 11:30, Deidra, Laken and I found ourselves inside the Capitol grounds, a few minutes before they closed the gates.

Caring for People

"I decided when I opened in 1987 that the people of our area needed aggressive representation - someone who cared about their problems, not the bottom line of the big corporations and insurance companies. At Laird, Baker & Blackstock, we care about people. That is why we will never represent insurance companies. We are dedicated to providing our clients with the best service we can. Whether you have been seriously injured, are having problems in your family, or whether you are buying a home, we will do everything in our power to meet your needs. We put people first."
