All immigrant ancestors arrived before the American Revolution and played a significant role in the development of our burgeoning nation. In fact, I have identified about two dozen ancestors who were Revolutionary War veterans. Consequently, I am very proud of my patriotic heritage and I truly believe that being called an American is an honor. It is a result of the achievement of my ancestors and words cannot express my gratitude.
