New Passport - American Quotes

So today we had to fax a copy of Riley's (3 month old baby traveling with Matt and Christy to France) birth certificate to the airport in France. Apparently, when Matt and Christy left on Monday they forgot Riley's passport but the Hungarian airport let them go. Coming back into Hungary tonight was a different story.

After faxing the new passport, I got a chance to look at her 3 month old picture and the design of the new passport. Much more interesting than the old ones! The new one is filled with quotes from former presidents, etc. Here are a few of them I found interesting.
