knowing that!
My dad and his buddies came over first in '64 on a cargo ship. Goodness, I forget the name of it even though we found out it was decommissioned some years ago, and we celebrated that ship. Ths captain, I'm certain a Swedish man but definitely Scandanavian, was so kind to those young men. My dad spoke very, very warmly of him, especially calling them out on deck to look at Ellis Island, that once upon a time they'd have to go through there like millions others who embarked on the same journey.
Yeah, it ain't over with fresh wounds always popping up but I'm so glad we've had a fantastic president who can convey the deepest sentiments so eloquently. It means a whole lot to me.
Thanks again for posting, Sheshe2
