47th Presidential Inauguration

Donald Trump was inaugurated as the 47th President of the United States on January 20, 2025. The ceremony took place inside the Capitol Rotunda due to extreme cold weather. Chief Justice John Roberts administered the oath of office to President Trump. During the swearing-in, First Lady Melania Trump held two Bibles: one gifted to Trump by his mother in 1955 and the historic Lincoln Bible. Vice President JD Vance was sworn in by Associate Justice Brett Kavanaugh. We loved watching the 21 canon salute outside that was started in the 1400's when firearms were introduced and symbolize the highest honor and a historical day in history.  In his inaugural address, President Trump declared the onset of a "golden age of America," outlining plans to revitalize the economy, strengthen national security, and implement significant policy changes. Following the ceremony, he signed numerous executive orders, including measures to reverse previous administration policies and initiatives aimed at reshaping federal regulations. Today was part of American history and we are grateful for this great country we live in. Regardless of political preferences, we feel it’s important to treat our elected officials with respect and grace, remembering that ultimately, God is truly the one in power.
