To see or not to see?

The inauguration is about a week away. I am nervous. I want to go and be part of this historic event, but I am scared that something will happen. If you have the opportunity to take part in history though, shouldn't you do it? What if you could say that you were there on the day Abraham Lincoln gave the Gettysburg Address? Or the day that the Declaration of Independence was signed? What do you think? Should I go?
