Just a bit of trivia as well out of all the presidents amongst this 91 panel of people Barack Obama came in #12. Thats’ a pretty amazing statement in our lifetime to be a part of in U.S History. I'm not big into politics and president's but i DO APPRECIATE THE FREEDOMS WE RECEIVE and when I have this day off from work because it's a holiday I'd like to know the people that dedicated their lives to improving LIFE as a PLATFORM for me to enjoy.
