The Flag Flies...For Sarah

Today, on Wednesday, August 14^th, 2013, the flag will fly over the United States Capitol to welcome our country’s newest U.S. Citizen, Sarah Alexa Walsh Ho.

The moment our plane touches down on U.S. soil on the runway at JFK airport, Sarah becomes a U.S. citizen!

A special thanks to Senator Bernie Sanders's staff for arranging this for us. The flag will be flown in Sarah’s honor, over the U.S. Capitol today, and then in a few weeks we will receive that flag along with a certificate. What a special keepsake for Sarah! (We arranged this same thing when Aaron arrived in the U.S.)

We will be leaving the Tokyo Aiport at 4 pm on the 14^th in China, and after a 13 hour plane ride, due to a 13 hour time difference, (between Japan and the U.S.)  we will arrive in NYC at 4 pm on the 14^th…

We are staying overnight at a hotel near JFK and then will take a 9 am flight home tomorrow morning, arriving at Burlington International Airport at 10:15 am (and we’ll still be feeling like it is 10:15 PM!).

Home…

Hold on, to me as we go

As we roll down this unfamiliar road

And although this wave is stringing us along

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm gonna make this place your home

Settle down, it'll all be clear

Don't pay no mind to the demons

They fill you with fear

The trouble it might drag you down

If you get lost, you can always be found

Just know you're not alone

Cause I'm gonna make this place your home
