My grandparents immigrated
legally to our country from Europe around 1900. They came to
participate in the financial opportunities afforded by our free market
economy, to raise and create a prosperous future for their children and
grandchildren, and to live as free citizens.
Anxious to establish
themselves as Americans , not Hungarian-Americans, Austrian-Americans,
or Russian-Americans, my grandparents enrolled in night school to learn
English and went to work.
While keeping some of the customs and
traditions from their past, they accepted nothing less than complete
immersion, especially for their children, in the culture, laws, and
history of our nation. My grandparents took great pride in grabbing
their piece of the American Dream by using their own two hands and a lot
of hard work.
