America the Beautiful

Over the last four centuries, our country has changed from the unknown “New World” into the greatest country to ever exist on this planet. As explorers braved the wilds of the East coast of what we now call the Americas, it was probably very hard for them to imagine the great nation that was to grow on this newly discovered continent.

The United States has become great through the hard work, the diligence, the perseverance and the “can-do” spirit of the American people. But the strongest factor in making the United States the greatest country ever known was the diversity of experience and knowledge brought in by millions of immigrants.

Immigrants flocked to the United States in search of what we now know as, “The American Dream”.

We should celebrate our immigrant forefathers, and remember that it was their courage and perseverance that allowed us to be Americans.
