Taking the oath The theme for the 2009 presidential inauguration is “A New Birth of Freedom,” commemorating the 200th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln’s birth. The words come from the Gettysburg Address and express Lincoln’s hope that the sacrifice of those who died to preserve the nation shall lead to “a new birth of freedom” for our nation. This theme is reflected in the actual inauguration and luncheon. Copyright Rockford Register Star •••• One of my artists, Margo Morgan did most of the heavy lifting on this graphic.
