Today is the boys' first Election Day, and it is a presidential selection year. If the voting age remains 18, it will be the year 2028 before Trey Davey and Benji will be eligible to cast their first presidential ballot. The candidates on that future ticket may well be running in their first election this year, starting on a school board or county council with long-range plans to rise to the highest level of government. Our boys are so fortunate to have been born in this great nation where they have the privilege to choose their leaders. Sandy and I took them with us today as we exercised our right to vote. We hope that they will never take this freedom for granted.
