We should all applaud President Obama and Secretary Panetta for leading our nation's courageous and honorable men and women, those who serve in uniform, in a smooth transition. The successful transition also says a lot about how far we have all come as Americans. I am proud.

My name is Ingrid Atzl Irigoyen. This is a place to share my personal reflections on a range of social justice issues, and echo the positive energy that authors who are experts on these topics put into the world by reposting their writings. It is one very modest contribution I can make to encourage a more just world.
