LOEP Board member, Brenda Bush works for CNN as a reporter and writer. She was one of the lucky few on board the Delta Inaugural Flight direct from Atlanta to Monrovia. President Ellen Johnson-Sirleaf and other Liberian dignitaries came from Liberia just to fly back on that special US-to-Liberia flight that took place two weeks ago. It was especially significant for Brenda who is Liberian and has lived here in the U.S. most of her adult life, working hard and raising her family (she has five children), all the while keeping closely connected to her Liberian roots.
*Update: Brenda sent a message to correct this post: The Liberian dignitaries did not fly to the US to take the Inaugural flight back to Monrovia. Madame President and the others were in Liberia to greet the Inaugural Delta flight and did so in fine fashion according to reports!
