Adamo. of Detroit. before his friends who gathered on the occasion of his 50th year in the United States. Mr. Adamo typifies the spirit of the hardworking Italian immigrant in his love and appreciation of America with its freedom and equal opportunity for all. He has developed a deeprooted understanding of American principles which he zestfully and patriotically believes should be guarded with the utmost care. Those of us who are native born in America and tend to take for granted our heritage might well heed the words of Alfred Adamo: On May 4. 1905. then 17 years old. I immigrated to the United States of America from Italy. During these 50 years (which seems to me to be just yesterday) I have found that America is the land of opportunities and holds many promises for man. provided that he is able and willing to contribute his share of energy and to work for success. Remember that freedom is precious to the man that appreciates it. and such freedom can never be purchased because it comes from the will of God and is delivered unto man and it is up to him to keep it close to his heart in order to make good use of it.
