Kudos --Nailed the hymn! Very moving ceremony with 200,000 American flags flying at the National Mall along with 400 lights lite around the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial.

I turned on my Christmas Lights, hung American Flag and lit candle in home as my small part to honor those departed due to COVID-19.

Garth Brooks sung Amazing Grace at President Biden's Inauguration today --  hymn/song welcomed at these type events.  Just like there is an Invocation and Benediction offered by religious clergy.  It was brought up by Rep. Roy Blunt during ceremony that President Obama also sang the song.
